My water tests are Am 0, NitrItes 0, NitrAtes 0-5, Phos 0, Calc 430, Alk 14
You can see a picture of the fuge in the first post. |
Chaetomorpha linum does not like a lot of light , however them grows very well in a little darker tank/fuge. Simply a little less light or the available light something darken and you will see, your Cheato grows again. I have Chaetomorpha linum in my breeding tanks as a hiding place for the brood. The breeding tanks are lighted up merely with 11 watts and daylight spectrum.
