Dying Cheato

[DarkHorseMBA]

Maybe your nutrients are low.

I keep cheato in my refugium. I don't have fish, I don't feed my tank and I don't add supplements besides C, Alk and Mag. My cheato barely grows but it hasn't died. It could take a year before I could even have a gold ball to tennis ball size of cheato to harvest.

If your tank is devoid of nutrients then the cheato isn't going to grow (possibly die back?).

So that would be a good thing? No excess nutrients?

I would assume that no excess nutrients would be a good thing. After all, isn't that what you're trying to achieve by using the cheato?

Try changing your light bulbs.

Try changing your light bulbs.

The bulbs are only 2 months old. Would I need to change them that often?
