Depends on your PO4 and Nitrate level. Check em first and see if they are low enough with the macro algae.
Do you have algae growing in your display tank? If there are alot of algae in display, then you need to do something else to lower them (feeding less, water change, GFO, better skimmer, less fish)
When you have low enough po4, your chaeto will die. Mine got brittle and started dying just a few weeks after adding GFO. If you run both, soon enough, you'll just be running GFO.
