I really need to set one of these things up -.-
 
That's impressive... what light do you use? Can you give us a link? The connector? Fast or slow flow?
 
Glad to see people are using these and getting good results. I do notice where the lights are I have coralline algae growing in the reactor very quickly. Looks like I will need to clean it soon.
 
I ran mine for 3 cycles. 1st cycle filled my reactor. 2nd cycle filled my reactor half way but then the chatio started to "melt." The 3rd time yielded no results and almost all the chatio melted. I took a small amount that was healthy looking but it melted too. Has anyone had this happen?
