chaeto reactor

im looking to make my own chaeto reactor and i cant seem to find a decent set of led lights for the reactor can anyone offer any help

My cheato isn't growing as much, and my nutrients are rising -- slowly but steadily. I've gone from 6 ppm nitrate to 10 ppm, in about a month. I do dose Brightwell cheato-gro. The cheato is tumbling in the sump. I don't know if cheato is supposed to be more loosely packed than what I have, in...

I have a Red Sea reefer 170 coming up on 2 years old an I have been having trouble keeping nitrate an phosphate down. I have accumulated 7 fish in the tank an a few coral mostly LPS. I feed frozen food everyday an have scaled back on the amount trying to reduce nitrate an phosphate but still...

I have been wanting to get a Chaeto reactor for some time now to help reduce nitrates and phosphates. I started looking online and noticed that they all have one thing in common... they are pricey. So I went on a hunt to build my own. FYI my take is about 54 gallons. Here are the supplies...

Looking for a pax bellum arid 18 chaeto reactor.

What's a good pump speed for a chaeto reactor? I'm using the AquaMaxx Media Reactor Standard with a pump at max power which is 260GPH. My reactor is on the ground of my AIO so it runs through a 5ft tube down then another 5ft back up. Is a strong pump fine for chaeto to grow because I also don't...

I have seen a few pre-built options through Marine Depot, but the reactors and lights are out of stock with no guarantee they will return. I have seen some close substitutes, but I’m not really sure what would work best for my tank. I’m not really obsessed with adding more water volume, but I...

Sold. I purchased this arid 2 months ago. I never use until my 1st batch chaeto delivered on 2/16/2019. Only 6 weeks used. I'm thinking of upgrade to larger size. Looking for $600 and local pick up preferred at Queens, New York.

I need at least one more block of algae for my system to process nitrates. I currently have two ideas, and am wondering if people have experience or opinions or whatever as to which to do here: Option 1: A big 25 gallon fuge. Idea is simple. A 25 gallon tall AGA tank with a massive overhead...

i currently have a two little fish 550 set up with grow lights as a chaeto reactor. I won carbon Rox from Brack on Black Friday so decided to buy a bra deluxe single reactor to run carbon in. Should i be able to run the reactors in line off that one pump ? Or maybe split the outgoing line from...

I am thinking about getting the Vectra S1 and I'm sure its big enough but I was wondering if it would be good for a 55 gallon and running two media reactors one for carbon and one for a chaeto reactor( on a manifold)

I was just wondering..... when does everyone bring there algae reactor online on a new system? I have a tank cycling for about 3 weeks now and am not sure when I should think about getting some chaeto and throwing it in the reactor

I'm in the process of picking up all new equipment for a 180. I have a Trigger Systems 39 sump, but don't want loose chaeto if I use any at all. I was looking on BRS at their bigger Skimz Algae Reactor, which has a quartz sleeve placed off center to one side and it's an upflow, but the water...

recently about 4 month ago I upgraded from my 20 gallon JBJ shallow frag tank to a brand spankin new Innovative Marine Nuvo 50 Gallon Lagoon tank. I ordered the tank from SaltwaterAquariums.com and cant say enough good things about those guys! I repurposed and furniture piece into a tank stand...
