I picked myself up a little ball of chaeto to test in my diy reactor, but then I had a thought.
Should macro algae be quarantined prior to adding to the DT?
If so, how long?
How would one keep it alive? My current QT only has one tiny little clownfish that I doubt produces enough waste to fuel chaeto. I'd rather avoid exposing my clown to anything if possible too.
I was thinking put it in a plastic container and floating it in my tank, as I hear chaeto does better with flow, but doesn't really require it, and every so often add the nutrient rich water from my tank to it.
