Chaetomorpha Algae, also known as Spaghetti Algae or Green Hair Algae, is an excellent macro algae for refugiums. Each cell grows end to end, creating long, stiff strands. It grows in filamentous clumps, resembling a ball of fishing line. This algae is fast growing and is not palatable to many herbivorous species.
Chaetomorpha Algae removes both phosphates and nitrates from the water. To increase the amount of nutrients this algae exports, use moderate to high lighting and keep it in an area of high water flow. It should ideally be tumbled in an algae filter.

Alot of people put it in the sump area of their tank with a small light on it running on an alternate timer with their daylighting. This is supposed to help decrease the tendency of a drop in pH overnight I think.
In addition it gives a place for microorganisms to grow such as pods.
