DESCRIPTION

Brightwell Aquatics ChaetoGro is a precision-formulated supplement that delivers 13 essential nutrients to support the growth and health of Chaetomorpha algae and other macroalgae used in nutrient export systems. Unlike fertilizers that may contribute excess nutrients, ChaetoGro is free of phosphate and nitrate and is designed for use in ultra-low nutrient systems (ULNS). It provides vital elements like potassium, iron, magnesium, boron, sulfur, and zinc—each critical to photosynthesis, protein synthesis, and algae metabolism.

Ideal for refugiums and planted marine systems, this formula promotes Chaetomorpha growth, which naturally removes unwanted nutrients like nitrate and phosphate. It’s perfect for reef aquarists looking to maintain water clarity, stability, and healthy biological filtration. When paired with carbon dosing (like Reef B

 

DIRECTIONS

Basic Use:

1. Shake well before use.
