Chaetomorpha Macro Algae Plant

Chaetomorpha algae is a green macroalgae that under the right conditions can grow pretty rapidly, and will consume nitrates and phosphates as it grows reducing the available amount of nutrients for unwanted algae to grow. The tangled spaghetti-like cluster of algae makes a perfect home for small beneficial benthic creatures like copepods, isopods, and amphipods. Many reefers utilize a refugium setting to grow the algae within the sump which makes harvesting and managing the growth a breeze. The other huge benefit growing CleanChaeto can be used for is to help moderate your aquarium's pH levels by utilizing a reverse photo-period from your display tank. Using Chaeto as a natural method of nitrate and phosphate control has been a proven method of managing your tank's nutrients without having to use any chemicals.
