This is my second attempt at setting up a refugium and my Chaeto is dying. The first one failed about a year ago. Tank parameters are all very good and stable (tank almost 2 years old), though I am struggling to keep Phosphates under 0.1 (hoping the refugium would help). I have a Tunze full spectrum refugium light on for 8 hours at night. I stocked it with several cups of Chaeto a month or so ago and it is almost gone and the remaining looks very dull colored. The worst part is there is plenty of hair algae growing in it, but none in my display tank! I thought Chaeto was hardy and would keep away the hair algae. I have dosed Vibrant every few weeks.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I thought Refugiums were supposed to be pretty easy.
