My Chaeto is doing well and thriving in his new show tank! His feedings consist a healthy complex diet of ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and CO2 as well as several other trace elements. All of this nutrition is supplied via a well-balanced natural filtration system comprising an enclosed refugium below housing several species of fish and coral that seem to do great job cleaning up all of Chaeto's nasty oxygen and excretions and churning them into all of the healthy nutrients he needs. This big guy is definitely most active in the evening. I find him rolling about exuberantly happy to see me!

Actually, all is not well with this guy. I tried introducing tank mates and he's very aggressive... Hypnea Pannosa, Hypnea Pannosa, Gracilaria Hayi,Halimeda Opuntia. Nope. He's not having any of it. Wants the tank all to himself. But that's okay, he's a stallion.

Truth be told, I don't even have a tank. This is a photo from Reef Builders. I'm just reading up and planning after years away from the hobby from back in the Berlin days 25 years ago. This was my first post and figured this is how I'd introduce myself.

Welcome!! No tank yet either. Working on it.
 
Thank you! I have an acrylic 72L x 24W x 36H flat back hex tank I've had in storage for 18 years. Time to bring it to life. So I'm look forward to sharing here.
 
Water current causes it to "tumble" which assists nutrient and light exposure while rounding it out
