cheato needs iron supplement

Well he mentions it can come in in food. I don't dose Iron and I know my chaeto grows like crazy. So, maybe my food is doing the trick. ;)

i took out all the sand and that eggcrate so it can roll freely.
im having cyno problem
 
I notice you have a few critters down there. What have you got citter wise altogether in the fuge as they could be eating it?

Ps I don't add anything to my tank and I'm for ever having to cut mine back and give it to my LFS.
 
Also, why cheato? That is one of the slower growing macros. Get something like Calupra and you will be trimming it back every weekend. I had a little of both in my fuge when I first put macro in it and the calupra quickly outgrew and choked out the cheato.
 
as for critters, i have 3 ceriths snails, few pods i saw today and feather dusters. i have dark green spot algae(is this good algae?)

heres the new fuge (going to remove the remain sand today)

i didnt get calupra due to sexual, back then i didnt know what was what :)
 
am i doing something wrong here?
is the cyno taking all the phosphate and nitrates? dont cheato eat faster than cyno?
dont cheato eat nitrates when nights are off and use those light to grown when its on?
am i mistaken?
