2. Lighting used (brand of light) - forgot the name, I'm at the office atm but it's a common brand in HandyMan/Ace, just ask for a 5-watt LED down light, price is around 450ish
3. Photo Period (in hours) - reversed photoperiod with my DT, sump lights are on from 10PM-10AM
4. Tumbled (Y/N) - Yes
5. Method of Tumble (pump, wave maker) - just in-sump waterflow. Chaeto is in my sump's 2nd chamber
6. When to cut and share? - Around 3 weeks per harvest
7. Optimum water parameters for growth? (salinity, temp, phosphate and nitrate levels) - not sure if mine is the optimum but my tank's params are 1.025SG, 29-30C, phosphate (no test kit), nitrate < 5ppm
8. When do you say its RIP for your Chaeto? (description when its dead or dying) - branches are turning dark brown/darkening
9. Emergency procedures? (When you see your chaeto almost going to die, do you do anything to prevent it?) - take that chaeto out, otherwise it will leach the nutrients back to your water
10. Supplements? (Do you dose anything to maintain growth of chaeto? (iron? carbon?) - none for the chaeto, for the tank prodibio products
