chaeto refugium

I have a healthy stock of fast-growing chaetomorpha, originally sourced from Florida Reef Labs. No harmful pests. You will get a decent-sized chunk, $10. Local pick-up only. I am in North Tampa, about 20 minutes from the Tampa airport.

Cost without skimmer: $122.50 (skimmer can substituted with a regular pump) Using this on a 20 gal high with 2 clownfish, 2 fire shrimp This thing absolutely destroys nitrates. I am new to the hobby (2 months) and didn't want to pay for a HOB refugium, since they would be much smaller than...

I haven’t noticed any growth lately and i wonder if it’s dead.

I'm struggling to grow healthy chaeto. My nitrates are high. I originally had a large ball of chaeto in my Eshopps R-100 fuge section (10" × 7 " × 14"). It was under a Kessil H160. Par was pretty high (200-300 par?) And in the grow-bloom range. The chaeto ended up turning into a tight ball that...

Hey all, new to both the forum and reef tanks. Long story short, ‘rescued’ a 125gal tank from someone with some rock, sand, livestock. Person was running an fluval fx6 as his only means of filtration. Got everything home and running and put the fish into a tank transfer/quarantine cycle for...

Hello! I am new to the refugium world. My Chaeto is turning white in some spots, but definitely has enough light. I run the AI Prime Fuge on 60% for a 10 hour photo period that was acclimated at 50% of that onward. Secondly, I might not have enough flow, because I rigged up a baffle in my sump...

Hey I am wanting to use a section of my Redsea reefer 350 v3 sump for some chato to help in nutrient control as I don't wish to use Nopox and id like to try the more natural approach i can see with my eyes. Unfortunately the 350's sump all be it spacious gets cramped once you have; heaters...

Does anyone have an stl for a chaeto holder? I have a Biocube 32 along with the media basket, but want to be more refugium, like I have been in the past. Last time I added chaeto it was a disaster. I would like to PETG print some sort of chaeto holder as my nitrate levels are higher than I...

Hi everyone, I have Sea Lettuce and Chaeto in my refugium (there are some other things in there if you wanna check out my build thread). I've started noticing these white, hair-like clumps in my sea lettuce. Can anyone identify this? Is it something I should be concerned about?

Hello All, Today I have started my first refugium. I ordered the AlgaeBarn Refugium starter pack and went with the establish tank option. So I added the Chaeto ball and loose pieces have been breaking off and getting into my DT and causing a headache with clocking my up my rtn pump screens. See...

Hi everyone, Monique here ! I would love to get everyone's thoughts/opinions on what would be the best option for a refugium in my Reefer 750. I've added photos below for you all to see, there is a Skimmer, UV Sterilizer, and Phosphate Reactor. After my last water test, for the first time ever...

Hello everyone! I recently set up a tank (within the past couple months) and have been trying to determine what an ideal flow rate is for my refugium section. A little background... I have a 150 gallon display tank with a 13 gallon refugium, and about 15-18 gallons of additional water in the...
