Anyone around Bellevue or LaVergne trimming their Chaetos soon? I’m setting up my refugium. Thanks

I might have some that has grown back in my large tanks sump. I Moved away from cheato and started doing graciliria, but I never could get all the cheato, so there maybe a new ball in there. I will let ya know this evening if there is.

I have about a softball size clump that has grown back from a few strands lol. I also have a ton of graciliria if you want some for your fuge. It is about time to thin this sump out as my nitrates have about bottomed out again lol.

I’ll take some Chaetos, not familiar with the other stuff. Where are you locate?

I am in Eagleville aka middle of nowhere lol, but I work in Murfreesboro and can bring it with me to work. I have a tank at work i can float the bag in for the day to maintain temp, so no worries there.

What made you decide to move from chaeto to graciliria? I have not had luck in the past with chaeto and was thinking of attempting a different macro algae.

I have a ton of tangs and they love it. It also grows as fast as cheato, if not faster for me. One thing I have noticed, it does not consume as much P04 though. Which is fine as I do not have an issue with P04.
