DIY Chaeto Reactor

[Quantum_Reefer]

Hey all!
Just built a DIY chaeto reactor using a Two Little Fishies Phosban 150 reactor. Got some RGB LED strips lights from Home Depot and the tubing... well yeah it's tubing
Didn't think it would grow very fast, but it filled up the whole chamber within a week!
Here are some pics over the course of the first week in action!

Great job on the build. One thing I have seen in the past is the Phosban Reactors cracking from the heat of the LEDs. Just keep an eye on it.

thx man, I will. But I think it should be fine because the water is flowing at a good pace so not too much heat should build up

Nice growth!
Any measurable difference in your nutrients after that week ?

I'm actually looking to put together a chaeto reactor. Wondering what's the flow rate of the pump you are using?

This is a really cool idea, I will give this a try if my in sump refugium doesn't work!!!
