Mr1 reactor for cheato?

[Kershaw]

So I have seen a few pictures online of people using phosban reactors for cheato. I was thinking of doing this with my mr1 reactor. Main purpose for pod production. Of course I'll take the other bennifits. But mainly I need a place to seed pods. Reason I want to use mr1, I don't have room in sump and I have thought about getting a small acrylic tank and placing next to sump and have water pump in and out but I am worried about over flow due to failure. Thanks.

Well you could throw a bunch of rubblerock in there and some pods if you dont want to have it lit. But i have an extra vertex reactor laying around. Thinkin about getting some clear tubing and led tape to make it an arid reactor but not sure how to cool them

I was planning lighting it from two sides.

Sounds good, make sure you toss up a photo after so a couple people on here can have a reference

Yea will do. My only cacearn is the cheato will grow so fast and I will have to harvest constantly.
