Chemi-pure and Fuge?????

degibson84 · 02-20-2009, 12:01 PM

i am currently using chemi-pure and i am getting ready to set up a fuge with chaeto.

once i set the fuge up should i keep running the chemi-pure as well or will it take away the nutrients in the water that the chaeto needs for growth

I run a fuge with chaeto and dont run chemi-pure and have no neusance algaes at all, every few days i scrape the spots off the front glass but thats all. I LOVE chaeto, i think you should remove the chemi-pure and see how it works, the chaeto is a much more natural approach to this.Plus, then you can stop buying the stuff, which I am sure isnt cheap.

I don't think it will hurt to run Chemi-pure in a system with a refugium, but I would consider it unnecessary. Save your money unless you find a condition where Chemi-pure will actually help.

I recently removed my ferric oxide to let the chaeto handle it. So far I like the results.
