SRC Member artxakis Posted March 1, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted March 1, 2014 chaeto for me....if i had the 2,5 ft sump i would divide it into two compartment and fill half of it full with chaeto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Kelvin Ang Posted December 11, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 11, 2014 I'm now running chaeto in my refugrium , so far so good . Thumps up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member pcw Posted December 11, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 11, 2014 I would say that it depends on your intended purpose? If it is to control algae/nutrients, then I would be inclined towards FRs or an algae scrubber. If you want to have a refuge for pods then chaeto.

Snail73 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 It depends on wat u already have in the other compartments of your sump and also what u want to control. I would say run an FR with PO 4X4 to control phosphate or cheato if u want to control nutrients Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
