Drumsscott Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansweet Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanknovice Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 I usually cultivate 2/3 of it every month Not sure if that is too much but always seem to grow a lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
