Let's talk Chaeto (Chaetomorpha linum) today!
Chaeto is a green macroalgae that grows rapidly, cleaning your tank by consuming nitrates and phosphates for easy nutrient export. It can form a tangled mass that spreads over the substrate. It maintains its shape well when kept in large masses. Chaeto....is a hardy green algae commonly used in saltwater refugia & algae scrubbers. It specially suited to algae reactors, where large masses can be kept with minimal packing due to its rigid structure. It grows in long, curvy, sturdy strands that create a framework with ample inner space that provides shelter for a diversity of small, beneficial benthic creatures such as copepods, amphipods, isopods, etc. (it looks much like a green scouring pad!). (Via AlgaeBarn)
How many of you grow Chaeto in your system and how easy or hard is it for you to keep it healthy and growing?
