    sometimes i feed my chaeto.
    I havent heard of others doing this or have proof that it actually works, other than the fact that my phosphates and nitrates are constant zero and that the chaeto still grows. I also do this so that my pods can have food to eat that live in the chaeto.

    squirt some cyclopeeze inside it and allow it to decay/ be consumed by the organisms in there

    feed the tank! I added another light and I cut about 2 gallons out of the sump a week! lol I got a major cheato farm. I do some decent water changes every friday too.. oh yeah use some 3.5k cfl bulbs right above the water, i dont run a skimmer and have more than a trickle through the fuge.
