So I saw this chaeto reactor on reddit using a fluidized reactor and wrapped an led strip around it and it looked pretty cool could I use this BRS reactor for the same setup?
this is the reactor setup I'm looking to accomplish It will sit on the floor about 3 feet under the tank
 
I think you will want a clear reactor and one that you can stick your arm down to clean with a magic eraser or something. My problem I ran into with mine was how difficult it was to clean since a tube of acrylic is tricky.
 
I bought the reactor from MD Aqamax and wrapped LED's around it Have not put in action yet
I bought these below . Its for my 32 gallon cube

LED grow light

The BRS version I would say might harder to clean. But time will tell if mine will work or be easy to clean as well. I was trying on the cheap end as you can buy the ready made reactors for 300 dollars or so setup for algae reactors .
If you want to see how mine looks without the cheato or in use just the lights I have a short clip
