I got I nice clump of Chaeto back in June - about the size of a nerf football compliments of Tanks (Thanks) and well let's just say it don't look as happy as it was at his place....
Here's a shot when it first went in my fuge (roughly june 24th)
and here's a shot from July 15 – looking kind of bad – dusty – covered with algae
I gave it a haircut and picked up a different bulb – a “daylight” CFL as suggested by Tanks in a Chaeto post - figured the chaeto liked that bulb there so maybe it would like it here too....
Here it is after about 4 days with that bulb and post haircut – a little better but still not as green or tight as it was back in June
Any thoughts? How often is anyone doing the haircut thing?
