Hi all!
I have a Biocube 32 and might have jumped the gun with regard to filtration and "upgrades"...
I bought the inTank Media Basket AND the inTank Fuge Basket... Well, I thought I would put my (quickly growing in the second chamber of the AIO!) ball of Chaeto in the Fuge. BUT. How will...
Take a look at the difference in the spectrums of the AI Prime Fuge and the AI Blade Fuge in the pictures below. The spectrum of the AI Prime Fuge is the REVERSE of the spectrum of the AI Blade Fuge. Has the AI team put ANY thought at all into the spectrums when designing these lights?
There are...

Let me start with saying how awesome you folks all are. I’ve been reading this forum for months and everyone here is so helpful.
I need some help: I just bought my dream tank: Red Sea Reefer 425XL
I don’t think I set up my sump correctly and need some suggestions. No...
Hello, I just set up a new lagoon style frag tank. It is two 20G tanks plumbed into a 36G sump. I am attempting a clear bottom build and only have 10lbs of miracle mud for substrate in the sump. I took about 50lbs rock from a tank that's been running for 20 years, cleaned it up and cooked it for...

Description
Clean Spaghetti Algae, as Chaetomorpha is sometimes referred to, grows in a tangled mass. It is most often used as refugium algae. When harvested regularly, it is an efficient method of nutrient export. Most fish will not find Chaetomorpha palatable.

Hi, my aquarium's cycle seems to be nearing its end as the nitrites fall and the nitrates rise, and I'm looking into adding copepods & other small critters to my refugium and DT because I hear they're useful, especially since algae is beginning to grow on the rocks. Where do I buy from however...
I have a 164 gallon Red Sea Reefer 625 G2 with a ReefMat 1200, Red sea protein skimmer, and refugium with 4 different types of algae (sea lettuce, chaeto, red ogo, pom pom) under an AI Fuge light.
My schedule for things are:
Lighting: 12pm - 7pm, main lights on
Skimmer: Was running 24\7 a week...
My chaeto has grown too big, i need to get rid of some. i'm looking to get rid of enough that it would fill a ziplock bag, the gallon size, or right around there. Located near Pembroke Lakes mall in Pembroke Pines, FL. Meetup by the Publix near me. Bring a bucket would probably make...
I would have assumed that this question was asked before, but I didn’t see it anywhere. But, I’m sorry if it’s a repeat and I just missed it.
‘Soon I will be ready to set up a 50g reef aquarium, with a 20g sump. My plan is to incorporate a refugium into my sump. I’ve read a lot of articles and...
Hey all,
I’ve recently bought a Scooter Blenny for my Waterbox 20. He readily takes frozen food, been feeding him frozen copepods which he readily eats, and he picks at what live copepods he can find in my tank.
Id like to construct a refugium for breeding pods, but just a rubble refugium. I...
Hello! So I have been trying to grow Chaeto, and to not avail, it ends up going clear and brown. My nutrients are 15-20 ppm for nitrates and between .1-.003 ppm for nitrates. I have my lights on for an 8-10 hour photo period, with a 60% intensity at 7 inches above the surface, Chaeto being down...
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...
Just adding to the good reviews for Cultivated Reef.
Package was shipped in insulated container with heat pack and additional padding inside.
Seller included an additional frag for free in the package as well at no additional cost (I gave no indication I was part of Reef2Reef or anything)...
Hi everyone, so I've set up a little betta tank as an amphipod culture tank but the powerhead that the internal filter comes with is obviously designed for freshwater; I was wondering, is it really such an issue to use a pump that likely has a stainless steel shaft for marine purposes? The pumps...
Hello everyone, I would love the opportunity to pick your brains a bit. So I am in the process upgrading from a 54 gallon corner tank to a 125 gallon I bought off of Facebook. (Pictures to follow). I cleaned it up, drilled it, and modified the stand. I now have a 30 gallon three stage sump and a...
I am in the process of setting up a sump refugium for my 40 gallon tank. But I am having a hard time finding chaeto. BRS is sold out. Algae Barn is sold out. Just about every place that I have seen highly recommended is sold out. So if I find someone selling chaeto that hasn't already come...
Currently trying to use this light on its blue setting to grow chaetomorpha. Already had the light so I figured its worth a shot and fits nicely mounted on the sump but I see a lot of red light spectrum in refuge lights so not sure if its a necessity or just better for growing. I know its better...
i have been able to eliminate bryopsis almost completely from my sps system with fluconazole . Unfortunately after a few months it comes back. I am currently running triton method so every time I dose the fluconazole I have to pull out my chaeto.
going forward I would like to just leave...
Attached Chaetomorpha antennina is the first image on Wikipedia's Chaetomorpha page
How many of you all have come across attached Chaetomorpha, in captivity?
When I was figuring out macroalgae with my first build years ago, I discovered that Chaetomorpha is capable of attaching itself to rocks...
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...
