Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / April 2005Chaeto Question
I;ve recently set up a refugium and put a "wad" of Chaeto in it. I am using a 19 watt 5100k flourescent lamp about 1 foot away. The plant is full of bubblesat the surface and below, but the area near the surface is turning brown. Is this normal? Too much light? not enough water flow? Thanks  SignatureRussell Jankowski amservice@sbcglobal.net A.M. SERVICE 440-333-4923 It isn't too much light, but the surface plant is getting cooked a bit. I run my lights (same as yours) about 4" off the water, and surface plants die back. The stuff beneath does great. If you could keep it just beneath the surface, none of it would brown at all. I've never worried about it. Marc > I;ve recently set up a refugium and put a "wad" of Chaeto in it. I am using > a 19 watt 5100k flourescent lamp about 1 foot away.
