SRC Member nanoteef20g Posted October 20, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi, is it safe to RODI water dip any kind of macro algae to remove unwanted parasites/critters. Will it remove those unwanted things? Also what causes macroalgae to die? cause my chaeto suddenly break strand by strand Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Indeco Posted October 20, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted October 20, 2020 Chaeto u can dip in fresh water no issue, others never try before.If your tank is new, nutrient not build up most of the time will die.Strong lighting and lack of Iron can be the factor also but rarely is the main cause.

SRC Member Indeco Posted October 22, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted October 22, 2020 If u want to use it for nutrient export, u will need about 10% of ur tank size in order to be effective.My advise is u can wait a while more as ur bioload is still very low now. U can manage it by doing water change.Give it another try maybe 3 months later. I don't advise dosing any nutrient to help chaeto grow cause u may also cause algae outbreak if didn't manage properly.
