I’ve had tanks for years and have always had cheato and about a month ago i started running my fuge lights 24/7 because my nutrients were high and to keep my ph up. I’ll tell you, I’ve never had such thick deep green cheato ever! The myth about cheato needing a dark period is just that. Buddy I got it from has been running his for over a year 24/7 and his looks the same way. Try it. You won’t regret it.

Read online on Brightwell.com that using the cheato grow along with Microbcater 7 is beneficial for the System as well as the refugium i has anyone done this?

would adding iron help with growth?

It can. Whether it is useful may depend on how much is already there from other sources. It is easy to try.

Brightwell isn't a font of correct technical information (IMO), but Chaeto grow is a trace element supplement (like many others) that can be useful. I'm much less convinced that adding bacteria is generally useful.

On there website they recommend using it with the cheato grow but they also recommend reefbio fuel as well as katalyst never used the bio fuel or katalyst. I’ve Used Microbcater 7 in the past just figure throw it out there to get others opinions I know these companies are always looking to push there products
