Description
Chaeto Macro Algae - Aqua-cultured

Chaetomorpha Algae, also known as Spaghetti Algae or Green Hair Algae, is an excellent macro algae for refugiums and sumps in marine aquariums. Each cell strand grows end to end, creating a long stiff intertwined clump, resembling a ball of fine string. Chaeto is fast growing and is not palatable to most marine herbivore species.

Benefits:
Chaeto Algae removes both nitrates and phosphates from saltwater. To help increase the amount of nutrients this algae exports, use medium to high lighting, and maintain it in an area of moderate water-flow.

Approximate Purchase Size:
Golf Ball Sized Mat. This is plenty to start your own culture and will multiple within weeks.

Acclimation:
(Temperature match, by floating bag or container of macroalgae in aquarium for 10 - 15 minutes. Then release into tank. No attachment to rock or sand needed unless desired.)
