I have a wad of Cheato in my sump. The sump needs to be redone for the addition of a fuge but for now I am using what my brother made me. Layout is as follows: 30g tall sump. Leftside of sump is for overflow water with one baffle. Then about a 10" section with cheato, 3" sand bed and 10 lbs of LR. Then continues through 3 more baffles then returns to tank. The chaeto was doing ok for a bit but there has been hardly any growth. I have a 5500k light (I think its that) came from my reptile tank with a bulb my brother gave me from when he was using it on his 30g long sump. I was thinking that there might be too much flow for the chaeto and thats why it isn't growing. Today I noticed that the cheato had some white colorings on it and its was no longer its roughish texture more of a jelly like. Appears to be dying or "dissipating." Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
