Hey,
Free small bag of chaeto (large fist size vs full gallon bag so I can share the 'green').
I have enough for...5 portions.
Why is it free?
I do not feel that Chaeto should ever be paid for, especially in the context of NYC and a site like this, where at least 2-5x a month I feel like 'free chaeto' threads go up and no one really desperately needs the stuff. I know some people buy it up at stores (trust me I was shocked, esp. the portion size!) and from local reefers for $15, but I truly do not understand why.
Literally, if I do not take portions out of my tank (my sump is pretty big so I don't really have to but I like to remove a bit every month to feel safe), eventually, it could die (maybe the bottom that isn't getting light because the population is too dense) and release the "unwanted" nutrients it removed from my tank, right back into it. That or in general, I'd become space limited- which is why I'm giving away right now.
So, the only options are to either pass a portion forward and let it grow and help clean someone else's tank or throw it in the garbage.
So, why would I sell that to you when you are rescuing it from the garbage?
SMH....

Please only post here if you want the chaeto, or have something to talk about in the same positive vein my post.
haha...this may be one of the most opinionated/wth threads I've posted in my 8 yrs on this site :biggrinpa
