cheato and marcoagle

[Jakef150]

yes or no..

I have a cheato in rear chamber with JBJ glow LED (white BRIGHT!) and i just put marcoagle in there with cheato- is that okay to put it in tog or must separate ?

Thanks!

I would think the cheato would outgrow and cover the marcoalgae. No problems other than one outcompeting the other.

Yeah the Chaeto will surround the other macro algae and pretty much choke it out or they'll fuse together. I have some Chaeto that has red things growing out of it.

Sounds kinda cool, but it just ends up being ugly as hell. Worst case scenario, the algae starts dying and you've got to take it out otherwise it'll start to rot.
