    Pennsylvania Tunze 3181 Macro Algae Reactor, used for one month/excellent condition

    This is an excellent condition/lightly used (1 month) Tunze 3181. Good for harvesting macro algae (best is Chaeto) for nutrient export. I used it for 1 month. Decided I prefer having a refugium so I could have other critters in there too, but this works fine if you need to save space/don't...

    Chaeto Reactor Pump

    What's a good pump speed for a chaeto reactor? I'm using the AquaMaxx Media Reactor Standard with a pump at max power which is 260GPH. My reactor is on the ground of my AIO so it runs through a 5ft tube down then another 5ft back up. Is a strong pump fine for chaeto to grow because I also don't...

    Bag/Sock Micron Size to Catch Chaeto Pieces, but not Copepods

    I have a Waterbox 20 Nano running a Tunze Algae reactor. The return for my reactor feeds into the same chamber as my return pump. Loose bits of chaeto are flowing into the chamber and eventually cause my return pump to clog (even with a cover on the intake). I was thinking a simple solution...

    I’ve recently began my cycle 3 weeks ago for my saltwater aquarium. It’s an 80 gallon display with LS and LR, 20 gallon Sump.

    Hair Algae in 30g AIO Refugium

    I have a lot of hair algae in my chamber which I use as an refugium to grow chaeto. The chaeto grows very nicely but so as hair algae. It becomes very thick in less than a week everytime I clean it. My main display has little to no algae though. Just some on the glass. I run the light for my...

    Changing out chaeto in refugium...should I try another type of microalgae?

    So. Background first. I have been keeping aquariums for most of my life, well, I mean the first 8 or so years obviously my parents were the ones actually dealing with the upkeep, but you know what I mean. However, it has always been only freahwater aquariums. That all changed November 2018. A...

    Hello all, I have what seems to be chaeto growing off my rocks? I have a small refugium inside my sump in the back of my fluval evo 13.5; I’ve had some chaeto trickle into the display when I have the pump off (for feeding). I try cleaning it up as much as possible but I’m wondering if this will...

    Feeding macro algae to fish?

    Hi all, My refugium grows chaeto like crazy. So I though maybe I'd dabble in growing some other macro in my sump to feed the fish in the DT. Bio load: 5 Chromis, 2 Clowns, 2 Banggai Cardinals, 1 Convict Tang, 2 Sand sifting stars, a crew of snails, 1 cleaner shrimp, and a handful of corals...

    Chaeto keeps dying... any help appreciated. I'm thinking it's my new setup.

    I have a Fluval M90 AIO tank. It has 4 chambers in the back. When I first set it up I was able to keep chaeto no problems and it grew really well. Recently I cannot keep it alive no matter what I do. I thought that I'd share my setup and some of the changes to see if maybe they are the cause of...
