Can i use an aquaclear hob as a chaeto reactor?

[Chrisnugent942]

So i have a 40g breeder that i wanna turn into a reef tank and i know chaeto reactors really help with keeping nitrates down so i thought this would be a better and cheaper way to make a reactor since i dont have a sump

Yes people have been modifying aquaclear hob into refugiums for years.
