Anyone selling Chaetos?
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 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.
