Rinsing chaeto?

[NedFlounders]

The chaeto in my refugium is definitely helping keep the cyano at bay from the DT. However it's doing such a good job, that I think the chaeto is getting sufficated by it.

Is it safe to simply pull the chaeto out and rinse the cyano off it, then put it back into the refugium?

Next time you do a water change, shake the chaeto around in the water you removed and then return it to the refugium.

Great idea! I think I'll add a small powerhead in the refugium as well. Currently it does not tumble at all.

Mine doesn't tumble. I just keep flipping the mass until it doesn't fit in the refugium any more then pull 90% of it out and start again.
