Chaeto Algae chaetomorpha Ideal for refugiums

Descripción

100ml Chaeto and as the envelope will fit through the letter box, it ensures that your order can still be delivered by the postman in the event of you not being at home to answer the door, thus reducing the chances of it sitting in the sorting office for long periods of time The macro algae Chaetomorpha has become a reefers best friend in the last few years, beating out Caulerpa as the macro algae of choice. Chaetomorpha is generally placed in a refugium that is connected to a saltwater reef tank where It is usually balled up. This macro algae has many benefits to a reefkeeper but generally its sole purpose is to absorb nutrients such as nitrates. Chaeto as it is sometimes called has the ability to host a whole slew of saltwater organisms such as pods, mini stars, and worms. When properly cared for it grows into a dense ball that gives the organisms a place to hide. Chaetomorpha is preferred by reef tanks owners over Caulerpa becouse unlike Caulerpa it does not go sexual. When Caulerpa goes sexual it releases most of its nutrients it has absorbed and it could cause a tank crash. Using Chaetomorpha will help fight nuisance algae by feeding on nutrients that are used by nuisance algae thereby creating a healthly competition between the algaes. Please be aware that by flattening this algae for transit it will appear much smaller than 100ml but we can happily provide photographic proof should you not be convinced of our sizing!
