Chaeto Question

I picked up some Chaeto today for my tank do I just put it in the tank at the bottom? I don't have a basked to put it in so is it ok at the bottom? I have a 24gallon Nano

 

it will be ok, just keep in mind it will start growing everywhere.

 

So I should probably go out and get a basket for it huh. i really don't want that everywhere. Can I just go to the supermarket and get a plastic sponge holder?

 

Am I making a mistake but puttin this in my tank? Is it going to overtake the tank and spread everywhere. I want my tank to remain clean and clear to see fish and corals

 

no but the stuff grows fast as it removes the nutrients from the water. You could even use a HOB filter take the filter stuff out and put the cheato in as long as it gets light or pick up a net box at your LFS.
something like this would work also.

Ok thanks. I will see if petco has one. The LFS is realy far from my house. I am starting to think I should just do with out it.

 

the fish breeder nets also work

 

As long as it has light, flow, and nutrients it should do great! Good luck!
