Cheato Question

So i am keeping cheato in the back of my biocube. I think some of the cheato is breaking of and flowing into my tank. Any thoughts on how to keep this from happening? I dont want cheato taking hold in my tank!

 

maybe some big nylon fishnet stockings.. holes large enough to let light in, but small enough to keep the chaeto from spreading.

 

this

 

ok. that wont affect the growth of the cheato at all?

 

wouldnt really think so, chaeto going to into more of a ball in a bag, but it shouldnt be a problem.

 

would a media bag work for cheato, like that you would use to hold carbon?

 

Im sure if it has big micron holes, if not.. fishnet or hairnet.

 

i used a very porous filter pad, that flow will not be inhibited by, but will hold back the chaeto.

 

is chaeto invasive? i have a hard time picturing this algae being a real problem.

 

sweet i used doctor foster and smith Media Bag Polyester Filter Bag, Drawstring Closure,
3"x4", 800 Micron
should do the trick!
