Caulerpa

If we can not use caulerpa in the ref. What we could use. Just read the information about the killer caulerpa infestation.

Many of us have switched to using "cheato"; short for cheatomorphia.

I believe it also does a better job than caulerpa by growing faster and therefore removing nutrients faster than caulerpa without being an invasive species like caulerpa.

There's almost always someone that brings "cheato" to the meetings and often times just looking to give it away. In fact, I'm bringing a bag of it to tonight's meeting and giving it away since the person I was bringing it for is not coming tonight.

Also unlike caulerpa, cheato will not go asexual on you and foul your water by releasing all of those nutrients and other "pollutants" into your aquarium.
