Chaeto

[pop]

For growing Chaeto, is there any "minimum" lightening for it to grow? I am currently putting it under a 1 FT PL 11W about 20cm from height, any problems with it?

No problem but must on the light 24/7 or reverse photoperiod (on the light at night). If you using a low wattage light growth will be very slow that's what I encounter. As long as the chaeto not dying it should be OK.

I am doing the same thing... 1ft PL but very close to the Chaeto. Perhaps you wanna bring the PL closer to the Chaeto. 20cm seems like very far away.

And I reverse photoperiod, with a bit of light going into the tank acting as moonlight, lol.

Thanks bro... is the growth fast under the PL lightenings? Do we need to harvest it then?
