Chaeto clear parts

[Jake_the_reefer]

So I just started chaeto for the first time and I notice it has some clear portions on it which has me either thinking growth or die off. Any ideas?

I've killed a lot of chaeto and have a 0% success rate at keeping it alive... and when it was dead, it looked like that clear color!

It's only like that on the very edges not the middle

I think its dying Chaeto. But I've got Chaeto thats growing (slightly) and has these spots so idk. Chaeto is so fussy in my systems.

Not sure why its dying. I have this light, 3 inches from it.
Nitrate 15ppm
Alk 8.4
Temp 78
Salinity 1.025
Reverse 10 hr photo period
I'll continue to monitor

It is an insignificant amount of die off. Does random dieoff happen or is the chaeto just not happy. Could be acclimation? Its 2 weeks old (if that)

Meh not too sure. But it seems like you're doing everything right so good on you
