I recently got some chaeto in my newly established refugium.
It's about 12x12x12 inches and is lit by a 50w LED light E27 socket. The light is about 2 inches above the water level (chaeto is on the bottom inch of the refugium).
My chaeto is now a week later turning white and dissolving and I don't know what I am doing wrong.
I've had the refugium lit about 12 hours a day on a reversed cycle.
The turnover is about 5xtank volume/h. Tank is about 75 gallons.
Parameters :
15 nitrate
0.03 phosphates
8.0 alk
440 ca
1370 magnesium
Help?
