viix Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Within a week my chaeto algae went from basketball size to nothing. Theres not even any debris where the algae use to be. I can't figure out what could cause this. When I noticed the algae shrank to half the amount that should have been there, I changed the light bulb but it had no effect and it continued to disappear. I have had the same chaeto algae in my tank for about 8 years. Any ideas? Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 What are your nitrate and phosphate levels? Sounds like it disintegrated due to not enough of something - either nutrients or light. But since you switched the light, I'm thinking maybe nutrients? Link to comment
viix Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Honestly, I haven't ran a test of any kind in almost 8 years. Could be part of the problem but my strategies have worked great for me until now. Off to grab a test kit. Link to comment
