Alright I have an AIO(all in one) Tank. I do not have room in the back of it, because of the skimmer, to put Cheato in. So I set up a 3 gallon to at least grow it and keep the pods alive. i was planning like every 2 weeks to just shake out some of the pods in to the mainn tank. The question I have is I dont have lights per say for the 3 gallon. I do have 4 1 watt white LEDs. Is that enough to make it grow? Should I feed the tank a little so there is something for the pods to eat?

My chaeto grows with its critters with a single old fashioned, large size Christmas bulb so I'm sure the LEDs will be more than enough. This is an image of a similar bulb...
