Love following this thread!!

After a long period of not having any Chaeto in my refugium (it was killed off way back when I was using biopellets) I added some two days ago and set the lighting period to 8pm to 8am. Its well documented that this helps limit the PH drop of a system at night, but its still fun to see the effect. So, here is a graph of my PH over the past few days.
Another note about my PH. I started adding 3.5 liters kalkwasser per day as part of the top off. The effect on PH was strong enough that I decided to stop the CO2 scrubber for the time being.
I plan to focus on using Chaeto as a major component of my nirtrate/phosphate export. I plan to having a hefty fuge for it in my next system.

Also, there is plenty of room for the chaeto to grow, so it will be interesting to see what the ph graph looks like after the chaeto triples in size

Its been a long slow road with it. It has encrusted fully all that it can and is finally starting to show some hints of its peak colors
