cheato question

Cheato is a form of macro-algae (seaweed) that will export nitrates and phosphates from the water. People employ many methods to reduce nitrates and phosphates in their marine tanks because these chems will kill corals and make some fish sick. They can also cause unwanted algaes to grow out of control.

Put cheato in your fuge, give it strong flow and strong light. Vheato is also a better choice than other macro-algae like caulerpa.
 
Sen is right on. Not only does it help to lower your nitrates and phosphates, but it also provides a nice breeding ground for pods, which will then overflow out into your tank and give your animals a live food source.
 
You can find chaeto on eBay for ten bucks. Even Craigslist for your area probably. It's pretty common for people to sell as you cut it when it grows and a lot of people will resell the cuttings
 
yes i know that much but i was looking for anyone in the living reefs community who had some to part with i would much rather pay a friend than a stranger
