My system is very simple. Just filter sock, skimmer, refug with miracle mud live rock and macroalgae. Using red sea coral pro. My nitrates at best is 10. Phosphate is 0. All readings are taken from API. Microbacter 7 dosing everyday. Grotech ABCM weekly. Yep thats about it.

At least 2 months. The size of the chaeto is the same. The only difference are those loose strands that managed to anchor itself in my refugium. Those i did see growth but very little. Prolly a few mmYou don't see them grow much? .... Exactly how long did u observe them not growing? Days , weeks , months?
-
My tank sure got things to absorb...i got lots of algae here and there...fortunately the live rock i got has tonnes of those slug like snail to clean my glass at night...just that compared to before i added the chaeto there doesnt seem to be any difference in terms of nitrates...good thing is my phospates are zero...so probably im doing something wrong in terms of growing chaeto
-
Maybe u can try replacing the prawn. I also did the same as you but ones my prawn desintegrated i top up somemore and just left it there..eventually u will notice a difference...it just takes time

Time to get a test kit!!!

My no3 at best is 10. Definitely not a nutrient problem. Previously used some cheapo clip on lamp but guess not enough cause i dont see it grow much. Ill prolly play around with some bulbs first.
-
Par 38 but which kind is ideal?
-
Wow i suck at diy, now currently using some spiral 23w daylight bulb. Will see the growth, might get back to you if growth is slowwwwwe. Thanks for input though!!

Hello all,
I would like to know what light bulb recommendations do the senior reefers have for best chaeto growth. Thanks!
-
Alright cool thanks!!!Just rinse the plugs under the tap before use. I have been placing the plugs straight into my tank with no problems so far for 2 years.

Bro, sorry ah need to ask a question. I got the same exact quick setting cement as you from daiso and managed to make the frag plugs..but when i soak it in water...there was some weird sediments that came out from it settling at the surface of the water...was wondering if it is normal and safe?DIY frag plugs - (my personal "secret" which I will share!)
Make your own DIY frag plugs for only $4!
Buy a packet of EASY QUICK SETTING cement, $2. NOTE I HAVE ONLY USED THIS QUICK SETTING TYPE, I'm not responsible for the other types as I have not tried.
Buy an ice cube tray with the other $2.
Here are the steps.
1. Mix the cement powder with water in a disposable container (I use those tao huay containers)
2. Mix until the texture is similar to mashed potato (I use estimation, cant help you here on the exact formula)
3. Use a disposable spoon to scoop the mixture into each cube
4. After filling the whole tray, knock the tray against a hard surface (floor) to make the paste flat
5. Leave it overnight to dry (approx 6-12 hrs)
6. To remove the plugs, bend the tray outwards slightly and they will pop out
7. Remove the excess edges by 'rubbing' a few plugs together
Note: If you want thicker plugs, fill with more mixture. If your plugs are weak and crack easily, or have crack lines, I suggest you redo again as you either put too much or too little water. You may want to try making 1 or 2 plugs first until you get the right mixture.
1 packet can make about 3 rounds of 24pc plugs depending on how thick you want.
The plugs are ready to use and no extra baking or drying etc needed.
Here is a pic of the end results:
