is this cheeto ok?

[ionredline0260]

So I have been reading that alot of people fill up some thing called a refuge with "cheeto" so I decided to try it me self with an old HOB filter some some cheeto. It seems to be working fairly well but it kinda of smells funny. it also dis-colored my water. the bag of cheeto said "crunchy" so I don't know if thats good or bad, my LFS said it should be fine.

If you're talking about that yellow stuff, that's not chaeto. Chaetomorph is a macroalgea, it's alive and is green. Kinda like a real coarse, curley hair. I don't know what the yellow stuff is.

The yellow stuff is cheetos. The crunchy chips. They're cheesy. Wrong cheetos. I think the OP is joking. At least I hope so.

Well, I fell for that one. I started to ask if they were cheetos, should have gone with the gut. Funny!

Funny stuff!! Good one...i think the fire cheeto's work the best! And the freeto's work as well. (if you don't get it, please don't try this) You know someone's gonna try!!

It looks like they did to me. That really wont work for removing Nitrates!

I'm laughing in my cube. Very creative. Should we put a disclaimer on this.....

PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!

 

[rustybucket145]

Let me hold a spoon!!!

Put a little Vodka in with it to help reduce the trates!

[eisfish]

It isn't easy being cheesy.

 

[mjm1969]

Good one... I'm pretty sure that's the nutrient importing kind.

[zoomfish1]

[BurntOutReefer]

leave it in there for a couple more weeks....it'll turn green and then you'll get some great algea growing there..........
