Chaeto - Best practices


Recommended Posts

At one of our last meetings (Mike’s) I picked a baseball size bag of chaeto.

I never had much success with chaeto before, but this batch started doing really well for us in our sump.

The chaeto ball has gotten now to be the size of a basketball. When is it best to start pulling portions of the chaeto and how much should be cultivated per week or month?

Would it be best for me to just pull and then restock with clean chaeto from a club member every month?

Personally, I like to pull the outer layers of the chaeto and leave a baseball/softball size chunk to keep growing. It maintains water quality (removing used organics from the system) while keeping regularity with the same biological strain in your system.
