Yes I built the light. 8 reds, 2 blues, and 2 warm whites. Looks great and extremely bright. With the cheato in the reactor the majority of the light will not be shining through.

Is it running yet?

I had zero phosphates when I added Kessil grow lights to sump.

With heavy feeding my chateo had still tripled in size in 3 weeks.

I took the lazy route and bought the Skimz MBR127 algae reactor. Chaeto growing machine is what it is.

I have one on the way right now. Hoping to switch over from vinegar dosing and running GFO to chaeto nutrient management. Just got done reorganizing my sump to fit it in.

Do yourself a favor and go to the hardware store and buy a rubber gasket sheet and cut out a flat gasket and scrap the top o-ring. Trust me, that o-ring is a royal pain in the you know what and it leaks. Here is a pic of my mod. Works like a charm now.
