For those that have a fuge, is there a good way to save the macro algae while dosing vibrant? Do people normally take it out, stick it in it's own tank with a heater and save it to put back in the tank, or would returning the cheato reintroduce the issues that vibrant was meant to solve in the first place? What about the maintenance dose of vibrant? Would continuing the maintenance dose essentially mean I won't be able to run a fuge?
I wondered the same thing. I put my cheato in a 5 gallon pail with saltwater and dosed some nitrates and phosphates for it to be happy, no heater.
Your second question I asked @Brew12 in message as they use vibrant, I will post the message.
Me: So a question, will vibrant being able to kill macro, do you run a refugium at all? I took my cheato out of my fuge for dosing but will I ever be able to/have to put it back in? If i dose vibrant weekly/monthly like I see some people do they must not run a fuge then, correct?
@Brew12 :You can put it back in. Wait for around 4 to 6 weeks after your last dose, add the chaeto back, and then wait 2 more weeks before dosing vibrant again. Then you can go to every other week.
