Hello fellows reefers
I will be setting up my chaeto reactor on my 40 gallon this Friday. The reason is I am trying to lower phosphates without using chemicals. I do not overfeed and do a regular water change once a week and even after changing out around 70% moving home I still have some phosphate issues which has led to some problems. So my solution is to set up a chaeto reactor to help with nutrient control.
So my question is will my chaeto reactor kill off film and GHA? I have a lawnmower blenny that I am having the roughest time getting to eat anything but film algae and the occasional munch on GHA but I have tried with just about every food and he doesn't take.
If I start a chaeto reactor will the GHA and film algae disappear and would that cause him to slowly starve?
Thank you in advanced for any help
