I'd appreciate any advice on raising Chaetomrpha. I Googled it and only
found a small mention of 'tumbling' and there was mention of not growing it
in a tank with different Macros. Am I to understand it is not to be in the
same system or just separated like Caulerpa in the display and Chaetomorpha
in the sump? I'd like it to grow and thrive, not just sit and rot.


It grows best by itself. Caulerpa tends to make a mat on top which
blocks the light and retards the growth.
I have a 10 gallon plumbed in with two of the florescent reflector
energy saver flood lights from home depot, and a small hand full will
fill the entire thing in about two weeks!
