Do you find that Chaeto grows better in high flow or lower flow?

    I moved mine out of my fuge and into the first chamber of my sump and it seems to be doing better now, it's actually noticably growing, like John said also it seems alot cleaner now since things aren't sticking to it, still have mangroves over on the low flow side

    The ONLY time I've ever seen it grow well was when little pieces got stuck on my powerheads. Those pieces grew incredibly fast. In my fuge, it was very difficult to tell from one month to the next if it had grown at all.

    So I vote high flow.

    YMMV.
