I throw some chaeto away on a weekly basis. Would be happy to give you some. It's incredible for balancing your phosphates and nitrates. I over feed my fish all the time and still read perfect parameters when I test.

I have an almost empty refugium that I need to get something in. |

From Liveaquaria.com Chaetomorpha Algae, also known as Spaghetti Algae or Green Hair Algae, is an excellent macro algae for refugiums. Each cell grows end to end, creating long, stiff strands. It grows in filamentous clumps, resembling a ball of fishing line. Cheatomorpha is a fast growing, hardy algae that is normally grown in a refugium where it absorbs nitrate and phosphate out of the water as it grows. Additionally this algae is a great habitat for microfauna such as copepods and amphipods to reside and populate. Chaetomorpha Algae removes both phosphates and nitrates from the water. To increase the amount of nutrients this algae exports, use moderate to high lighting and keep it in an area of high water flow. It should ideally be tumbled in an algae filter. Basically it eats broken down fish waste. |

If this stuff is good for a start up 75g reef tank (less than 2 months) and can be stored in 20g sump, I'd like to get some myself.
