chaetomorpha

So, I recently bought a 250ml bottle of Seachem Matrix. It says on the bottle that I should use the whole bottle for 25 Gallons of water. Currently, my water volume is about 13 Gallons. Can I use the whole bottle? Or should I follow the instructions? Also, in which part of the sump should I put...

Hi, I am thinking of setting up a refugium to grow chaetomorpha. I have a spare Kessil A 160WE Tuna Blue bulb. Can I use this bulb at it's most white setting to grow chaetomorpha. Or would be right to buy one of those red colored lights for refugium? If this is not the right forum to ask this...

I was just wondering..... when does everyone bring there algae reactor online on a new system? I have a tank cycling for about 3 weeks now and am not sure when I should think about getting some chaeto and throwing it in the reactor

Does anyone have any experience with acclimating new chaetomorpha or red macro algae to new lights? I just got a Kessil H380 and one chaeto and red macro and didn't want to harm them. The first batch of chaeto I had used died, though I am not certain of the cause. (I just hope it wasn't the...

Hello everybody! I have to say that I am newer to the reef world. I have a biocube 14 that I have had running for 2 years but I'm now setting up a larger system and when researching for my refugium I'm setting up, I heard about this product. I am intrigued about some post being way against...

Hi! I've created a sump design and would like some feedback on it. Pardon me for cramping the drawing a bit. Hope it's readable enough and not an eyesore. It has following 4 chambers: 1) Protein Skimmer 2) Ceramic Rings, Pot Scrubbers(Scrubbies Affectionately) and maybe Activated Carbon 3)...

Has anyone used Eelgrass in a refugium? It seems to grow much more rapidly at the LFS. Any experience? Thanks.

Hey all, I'll try to make this short and simple and appreciate your input. Problem: I've noticed cotton candy algae growing on my chaeto and in my fuge. I've manually removed it a few times, but it keeps coming back and seems to be spreading. It only grows under my refuge light, and has not...

Just got a new light from #ReefBreeders for our fuge. What kind of setups are you running? How long? Pros/cons? And pics please!!

Hey all, Over the last week, almost all of my chaeto has started turning white and becoming brittle. I posted two pictures: initially after first adding the chaeto and another just to show it was growing- it eventually grew much bigger very rapidly, but I don't have any pictures. I removed a lot...

Hi all, I'm looking to add chaeto to my sump set up in order to breed pods and for nitrate reduction. I'm looking for some suggestions on how I could retro fit into my existing set up without taking my sump out. I've got the sump shown below. Could I just add it to the overflow entrance area...

Dear R2R Members, Should the cheat in my refugium be replaced with new cheato and miracle mud? Basically revamping it. Thanks! Tanner
