If you think that's what is making the Chaeto turn brown, that's what I would do.
I've kept Chaeto alive in a ziplock bag with saltwater inside for months. You could put yours in a bag with NEW saltwater (no dino-x) and still keep it in the refugium.

If dino x is adding extra nutrient load that is causing the brown stuff to start growing on your chaeto, are you sure you aren't just dosing too much? I feel like you can remove the chaeto if you want, but then the brown stuff will just continue to grow on other things.
