I set up a Kessil H380, thirty pounds of Miracle Mud and a softball size portion of Chaeto. How much Phosphates and N03 is needed to sustain growth in Chaeto? My N03 is 100 ppm and Phosphates 0.07 ppm. Thanks, Reefers
 
As long as you feed coral and fish you shouldn't have to worry about it. Especially with the amount of nitrates you have unless this is post nitrogen cycle. The amount of nutrients is relevant. Though, we shouldn't have to test nutrients to sustain chaeto. If it is worrisome, don't add chemical medias like GFO or bio medias like bio-pellets.
