I need some Chaeto does anyone have some they can spare?

[reefer334]

Well my Oceanis Tech Series 120 has been up and going now for 10 days every thing is doing well but my phosphates are very high 4 ppm.So I wold like to get some chaeto for my sump/refugium to help out.I am ordering two reactors one for carbon and one for phosban, so that will help to.My question is how did my phoshate get that high in only ten days?I used 20 percent of water from my old reef and the rest was all fresh ro/di water and reef crystals.I have 3 very small fish in there and have only fed them twice a little bit of cyclopeeze.I also have about 160 pounds of well cured live rock in there,the rock I have had in other tanks for 3 years plus.I am running bare bottom and have not decided to do a rdsb yet.Any help is appreciated as I am still a newbie at the reef keeping part of my hobby.Thanks,Chris

Well, I have some cheato, and if you're going to the meeting, I can bring some, or you can come by and pick it up.
As for the phosphate, it is possible that it is leaching out of the rock. Otherwise, I don't know. Good luck.

Thanks all,I just went to Justin74's house to pickup some frags and he was kind enough to donate some to the cause.Thanks again Justin and everyone else,Chris If anyone has any input as to why my phosphates are out of control I am still open to suggestions.I agree with jtarmitage that it is possibly leaching out of the rock ,that is what justin suggested aswell.
