Reef Pro Live Chaetomorpha (Chaeto) Macroalgae – 1 Cup (Softball-Size Portion)

Improve your reef aquarium’s filtration naturally with premium, aquacultured Chaetomorpha (Chaeto) Macroalgae harvested fresh to order. Our Chaeto is grown in clean, controlled saltwater systems without chemicals, medications, or copper exposure — and shipped shortly after harvest to ensure you receive strong, healthy, fast-growing algae ready to begin nutrient export immediately.

What Chaeto Does For Your Tank

Chaetomorpha is one of the most effective natural filtration tools in the reef hobby. Adding it to your sump or refugium helps:

  • Reduce nitrates (NO3) and phosphates (PO4) naturally

  • Prevent nuisance algae in the main display tank

  • Improve water clarity and overall water quality

  • Support coral color, growth, and polyp extension

  • Provide habitat for copepods and amphipods

  • Stabilize pH and increase oxygen levels

  • Create a more balanced, resilient ecosystem

Why Our Chaeto Is Better Than Typical Online Sellers

Not all Chaeto is equal. Many sellers online ship algae that has been sitting for weeks in buckets, harvested from random hobby systems, or grown outdoors where pests and contaminants thrive. Ours stands apart because:

Harvested Fresh For Every Order

Our Chaeto is cut and packaged right before shipping — not weeks in advance.
This ensures:

  • Stronger structure

  • Healthier color

  • Faster growth once added to your tank

  • Higher efficiency at nitrate & phosphate export

Fresh Chaeto establishes faster and performs better than algae that has been stored and starved.

Aquacultured in Clean, Controlled Systems

Our algae is grown indoors in stable saltwater environments, monitored daily. We do not wild-collect or purchase from random hobby tanks, meaning:

  • No aiptasia

  • No bubble algae (Valonia)

  • No bryopsis

  • No flatworms

  • No parasite eggs

  • No surprise hitchhikers

This gives you a cleaner, safer product.

 

📌 Why Buy From Reef Pro?

Because you are getting:

  • Freshly harvested Chaeto — not stored long-term

  • Professionally aquacultured product

  • No chemicals, no copper, no medications

  • Cleaner, safer macroalgae

  • Better value and better results

  • A trustworthy source used by real reef professionals

Many online sellers provide algae that has been sitting in a dark bucket for months or grown in questionable systems. We deliver living macroalgae that arrives ready to work.

Chaeto Algae removes both nitrates and phosphates from saltwater. To help increase the amount of nutrients this algae exports, use medium to high lighting, and maintain it in an area of moderate water-flow. Chaeto is completely reef/saltwater aquarium safe. It is also a great habitat for copepods and amphipods which provide natural food for your aquarium.
