Why use this and not just keep a refugium? aint it easier to just cut off some chaeto then to have to power another device and space issues as well?

yea actually looking into it, a refugium would be more work. i would be more inclined to getting the ATS or a reactor.I find you need tons of chaeto to keep up with nutrient control depending how much you feed. Just started with ATS to reduce or remove the chaeto, supposed to be more efficient. Also, the light in a fuge/sump caused bubble algae and unwanted growth in the sump and baffles, which impeded flow and a pain to clean. ATS is much easier to manage.
Then put some back and feed well as I do.I feel like algae scrubber takes away too many nutrients imo
Heavy feedings have to be done throughout the day not just at one time. I am only have for about 3 hours each day of my light cycle so that wouldn't really work. The sump with the Chae chaeto gives similar results just not as efficient so that works for me betterThen put some back and feed well as I do.
My fish are awake and swimming around well before my lights come on so I feed once then. In the evening I feed twice the last time just before the lights go off. When home I often feed 4 times.Heavy feedings have to be done throughout the day not just at one time. I am only have for about 3 hours each day of my light cycle so that wouldn't really work.

Yes a light shade which keeps algae from growing in the slot.Looks like you now have something to keep the algae from growing up the screen and possibly clogging the slot in the pipe.
I am.in the UK and the Seabreeze is sold on UK eBay.Where did you order yours?
