DIY Chaeto Reactor

[Quantum_Reefer]

Hey all!
Just built a DIY chaeto reactor using a Two Little Fishies Phosban 150 reactor. Got some RGB LED strips lights from Home Depot and the tubing... well yeah it's tubing ;)
Didn't think it would grow very fast, but it filled up the whole chamber within a week!
Here are some pics over the course of the first week in action!

Great job on the build. One thing I have seen in the past is the Phosban Reactors cracking from the heat of the LEDs. Just keep an eye on it.

thx man, I will. But I think it should be fine because the water is flowing at a good pace so not too much heat should build up

Nice growth!
Any measurable difference in your nutrients after that week ?

I'm actually looking to put together a chaeto reactor. Wondering what's the flow rate of the pump you are using?

This is a really cool idea, I will give this a try if my in sump refugium doesn't work!!!
