Chaeto alt?

[Reefin' Alaska]

Is there anything that can be used as an alternative to Chaeto in a reactor?

I build a chaeto reactor out of an old Aquamaxx reactor, but there is one problem..

I live in Alaska. No one locally has any that I'm aware of. And 90% of everyone is out of is online. The people that do have it want crazy prices to ship it here.

Bio pellets. Also more consistent than cheato and doesn't need light. Only negative is they dont touch phosphate, but I have to dose phosphate. They do crush nitrate though. I dont even have a reactor. I just put them in a media bag in a high flow area of my sump.

A great choice would be sea lettuce. It is very fast growing and can be fed to herbivores when trimmed back. ~Shaun K.

GHA. IMO best algae to keep

but sea lettuce would tend to block the exit point in your reactor

I'm sure you can find someone on here to ship you some Chaeto for normal flat rate price. I would, but I'm currently out.
