Or, you could type "DIY chaeto reactor" into the search box, and find pages and pages of posts about that all by yourself. :-)

Get this. I love it! I was gonna build my own with a breeder box but this has lights and pump.

Btw it would have cost the same or more to make my own

I was thinking of building my on refugium how is this working out for you? Any growth on the Chaeto? Copepods ?

Its growing, I added pods but haven't seen them since so either they're imbeded or gone. Flow is nice and slow. My only problem is I wish it was a little bigger

Sounds good but because your saying you wish it was bigger I’m considering going along with my plan of using a 5 gal or 10 gal tank to build a fuge, I’m just wondering where to get the water to feed the fuge, I read it should come from the skimmer outlet and the return the water from from the fuge into the return pump chamber
