One of the rear chambers in my 12 gallon cube is a mini fuge. I have cheato growing in there with a 10W submersible light. When I look down into there, it is clear that there is some built-up detritus snagged in the cheato.

I am tempted to rinse it in my change water, but know that I will lose many of the pods, etc.. that are most of the reason for having the fuge in the first place.

Whaddaya think?

Are you pruning/weeding out your chaeto periodically?
