I've been using iron now for a little while and it has made a difference. Cheato has about doubled in the past 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure how much is actaully available for the cheato to use though as I run carbon 24/7 and I'm not sure if carbon absorbs iron or not.
I've been having issues with bubbles cause my cheato to float. I noticed the section directly under the light was a pale green. I cut some rigid airline pieces slightly longer than my fuge and pushed them over the cheato to make sort of a lid (like a cage) to keep the cheato under water. The next day I noticed the entire top portion of the cheato was turning the pale green. My light is a 26w cf about 2 inches above the water. I moved the light up as far as I could so now its about 7 inches above the water and the cheato is about 3 inches under the water. Hopefully that'll help. I'll keep you updated.
