I recently added a DIY Chaeto reactor to my 30 gallon AIO. I feed fairly heavy and the tank is only 8mo and I've had some GHA issues recently and thought I would give the reactor a shot - I tried GFO a while ago but was not a big fan.
I tested my phosphates before turning the reactor on and was around 0.16 and then fast forward two days later and my phosphates are reading 0 on a Hanna ULR and RedSea test kit.
Two questions...
1...Is it even possible the algae reactor is that effecient? I've literally only had the lights on in the reactor for maybe 12 hours total.
2...should I be worried? I keep stumbling on Dino posts and DO NOT want to go down that path...
