Create your own natural nutrient control! How do you grow Chaeto?

[Bonsai Ron]

I grow Chaeto and other macros in the sump of my “big” tank. I grow macros in the display of my AIO.

Light, powerhead?marinepure?

I am running and old Fluval planted aquarium light and a soccer nano voyager power head on my sup. Seems to be growing about 4 different macros as well as some turf algae. My AIO had a Kessil Tuna blue and a Jabeo wavemaker.

My cheto died of starvation when it achieved its purpose.
I had cheato for some time. I kept it in the refugium, that is a chamber in my sump. The water flow would rotate it and I had 4 leds of 3W each. The light was on at night. It worked perfectly.
