These elements, and some of the processes that they are involved in, are: Potassium – Protein synthesis, water and charge balance, enzyme activation. Boron – Chlorophyll production, flowering, root growth, cell function. Carbon – Required for all organic compounds. Calcium – Cell wall stability and permeability, enzyme activation, cell response to stimuli. Chlorine – Water and charge balance, photosynthesis. Iron – Required for photosynthesis, component of enzymes utilized in redox reactions. Magnesium – Component of chlorophyll, enzyme activation. Manganese – Formation of amino acids, enzyme activation. Molybdenum and Cobalt – Required for nitrate reduction. Nickel – Enzyme activation, processing of nitrogenous material. Sulfur – Component of proteins and the coenzymes that are involved with nutrient utilization and growth. Zinc – Chlorophyll production, enzyme activation. ChaetoGro does not contain phosphorus or nitrogen.

Gordon Ellis –
Excellent tool for a refugium or algae reactor.
I put this on an auto doser for daily dispensing. I dose 2ml per day. Since it’s addition to my reef aquarium it has certainly boosted the growth of the chaeto in my algae reactor and in turn lowered my nutrient levels.

must have for marcoalgae
very significant result for my tank. coralline, chaeto, caulerpa, all the marcos grow like crazy just after three days dosing. skimmer also collect more waste (mainly microalgaes). If you have high nitrate/phos but all the algaes do not grow, you need this.
Agueybana –
Works awesome
If you want your macro algae to grow crazy fast, dose this, you won’t my disappointment.

i’m no expert
we first started this with some spaghetti algae (don’t recall the scientific name chaeto something) it died, then we went with lettuce algae (again don’t recall the scientific name) and it has stayed bright green and is thriving, so i blame our set up / lighting over this not working. but again i am no expert so this may not be doing anything then again it may be what is allowing the lettuce to be able to forgive us our newbie mistakes.

Chaeto needs 2 things to grow
A good light and something to eat. This appears to be helping. But please…. light soo much more important.
Amazon Customer –
Awesome.
Even with heavy NoPox dosing this kept my chaeto growing and happy. Unless you have a lot of algae growth in display tank just leave your Fuge light on 24hrs. I dose this at night after my display light goes off and have not noticed any additional algae growth in display tank.

Warning – Green Hair Algae Likes it Too
I have seen growth and improved health of my chaeto since I started adding this product to the tank (1 ml per day in 100 gallon with 30 gallon sump). However, green hair algae which had been long gone and unseen for at least 6 months also came back. I am seeing a couple of significant patches popping up in a few places. I plan to stop using it in the hope that between my clean up crew and stopping chaetogro will get rid of the hair algae before it gets out of control
Amazon Customer –
My chaeto is being trimmed at least weekly. Growing so fast under a grow light 9hr photo period
