Chaetomorpha is highly effective at removing nitrates from your aquarium when used in a refugium. Chaetomorpha is less likely to release absorbed nutrients back into the system compared to other types of macro algae. |

Chaeto grows better when there is enough current to roll it.
Chaeto can withstand 24x7 lighting. My fuge lights have been on for the last year.
Makes a great home for copepods.

Use 6000K lights for better results... good circulation is needed.
