What Submersible Lights Do You Use For Chaeto?

[simonas]

I'm going to give the chaeto a go in one of my chambers but not sure what submersible light to get, what kind do you chaeto using chaps use?

thanks Simon

I've got 2 of THESE in the first chamber of my Betta Nano's filter but tbh it's still too early to gauge their success as I've only had them in about a fortnight. They should work fine and have algae growing on them but like I said it's a little too early to se the results with the chaeto.

 

[simonas]

cool cheers for that will order them now

 

[Craig B]

I can confirm Simonas that they work incredibly well, my chaeto has doubled in 3 weeks, If you need any then I can send you some next time I harvest it. When I checked yesterday it had packed the filter compartment so much it was restricting the flow to the Skimmer and I was getting loads of micro bubbles in the tank. I just grabbed a handful and binned it though, I will ask if anyone needs any in future

 

[simonas]

cheers for that
when Içm back from my hols I shall sort those out!!

How are you getting on with the Chaeto Simon?

 

[simonas]

great mate thanks

I bought two but only used one as only had one plug adaptor

Not sure if its a coincidence but my nitrate is down from a dark red25 to a low looking 10 on my test kit which is best for months and my diatoms has gone!!! can;t be a coincidence surely

cheers again

It's no coincidence Simon, mine did exactly the same, I was struggling to get my Nitrates below 40 at one point, roughly 2 weeks after adding the Chaeto they dropped to 10 and have sat there since

I find mine has growth spurts, It won't grow much for a week or so and then a week later it has filled the filter section and is restricting flow.

Glad to hear it's working out for you though mate
