dying cheato???

[andersoned14]

My cheato seems to be fading away. Any thing that would cause this? Changes since it has stop growing, No fish in tank but I have been feeding my sally crab and add a uv filter to the system. Also I needed to move it around when I add uv can moving cheato in the fug hurt it. I though I read some people "stir" it up everyonce and a while. Light is on 24/7 23wat CFL.

Is this Biff's Chaeto? Or other chaeto?

 

[reeffreak]

Oh-Oh,is there a flaw in Biff's chaeto?

Why run a UV with no fish?What is happening to the chaeto?

 

[Bifferwine]

I would guess that since you don't have any fish, you just don't have enough nutrients in the water to sustain the chaeto.

That would be my guess to.

Don't worry Biff and for all others with the amazing cheato Biff has and has given to others. THIS WAS NOT BIFF'S CHEATO!!!! Okay, I will be adding fish in a few days. Hopefully this works.

Why run a UV with no fish?What is happening to the chaeto?

uv because I had ich or some other sickness and I QT all fish and kept DT empty for 8 weeks. Cheato looks like it is "melting" loosing its thickness and turning brown and breaking off.

Well thank god for that!!!! :lol:

I think the chaeto is basically just starving to death. Since your system will be fishless for 8 weeks, I have a proposition for you. Throw away the slimy, dying non-Biff's Chaeto, and when you are ready to go with fish again, just send me a PM and I will send you some of Biff's Chaeto AT NO CHARGE!! That's right, you heard me. For the low, low payment of 0 dollars and 0 cents, you too could enjoy having Biff's Chaeto in your fuge.

But wait, there's more!

...No there isn't. I just wanted to say that.

Hmmmmmm....

 

[andersoned14]

that goes back a few years. I guess being a flying monkey would not be that bad but a sucba diving monkey would be better. And yes I will send you your thanks as promised. I know they are not as good as Biff's cheato but that is all I have to give for now.
