Hi Adam,
your corals look so awesome, so why are you trying to lower your phosphate levels? You even wrote a whole "Phosphate Ramblings" about your skepticism over the overly prevalent, and maybe not helpful phosphate lowering attempts that we see in the hobby.
Just curious as to what benefits/changes you expect for your system by adding this potentially massive nutrient sink. Are you going to switch to a high import-high export system with regards to nutrients?

see post #28, regarding my make up water phos levels. Ultimately, I don't really pay much attention to my Phos levels either way.

I remember awhile back ago you were having an Iron problem, did you Cheato take care of it?

I don't remember, if I did it was long ago when I did an ICP test.

Very proud of this product. I’ve shipped some to some friends and gave gallon bags away locally!

Growth!

@Battlecorals when will the chaeto be in stock?

 

[Benoit Martin]

@Battlecorals, is the lack of response and fact that you don't show it on your site a sign that you are out of the chaeto business?

That'd be a shame because I just came across this thread and felt that i finally found a reliable source to buy from

I also would enjoy an update!

Lol well, I had to write this response out in some form or another so many times in the last 6 months, that I finally copied it to my clipboard for quicker access.

Here's the blanket on cheato

Unfortunately, wish I had better news. I don't know that I will have chaeto again anytime soon at least.

Funny story. ( sort of). About 6-7 of months ago now, I wanted to turn that chaeto tank back to coral, so moved my main ball to a smaller tank in my back up system, with one rabbitfish in there. He literally ate the whole thing in under 2 days lol. Did not see that one coming.

The sad thing is, I haven't had much luck regrowing any of the straggler strands that I salvaged. So, as much as I hate to say it I'm not sure I'll continue with the cheato venture at this point.

The good news is that the tank that once had the chaeto. now houses thousands of frags, encrusted and ready for immediate shipping

Doh! Thank you for the heads up!
