Chaeto - Is there a problem with letting it sit with no water agitation?

[bpl09]

i got a ton on free chaeto from this guy about 2 weeks ago. I am in the process of buying a sump/fuge for it. This was right before i went on vacation for a week so i just left it in a 5 gallon bucket with a light (on a timer) over it. Its been like this for 2 weeks. When I get the sump, will there be any problems with using this chaeto that has been sitting still for 2 weeks?

ive had some just sitting in a bucket of water many times. it should be ok as long as its still firm. it just grows better if its got more agitation. and keep a light on it.

Should be fine. I'd swish my had in there once or twice a day.

I don't see an issue with it. Keeping a light over it will prevent anoxia and subsequent fouling by encouraging photosynthesis and oxygen production. Still, a powerhead or occasional stirring would be helpful in many ways. It is more ideal for the algae, since it will help distribute waste products and bring in nutrients.

might get a little cyno in it but thats normal
