Hello. I've tried chaeto in my
sump twice, and it didn't do well and ended up dying. I think it's because there is too little flow in the very small section I have in my
sump where I placed it. I decided to pile up some rock rubble in that section to try to have a predator-free zone for pod reproduction. Do I need to light the
sump just for the pods? (I'm guessing no). In my display, I have red
macro algae that popped up on my
live rock. (see pictures below). I set up my tank in May, and in July, the red
macro algae didn't even exist yet. The attached picture is from November. I love this red
macro algae and think it is really pretty, and grows pretty fast. I have to trim it down by about 50%, every two weeks or so. Is this
macro algae good for nutrient export like Chaeto ??
Thanks!
Pam
