Several months ago I converted my 10g sump into a fuge and added Chaeto with a Kessil grow light. The Chaeto tripled in size within a few weeks and nitrates went to zero. A couple months later today I have been at zero nitrates and no noticeable algae growth in the display tank and some of the Chaeto is bleaching and dying off. I'm a little worried my CUC is not getting enough to eat so I've been feeding more often about 5-6 times/week and increased my light cycle in the DT to 11 hours over the last couple weeks from 7 hours. Still no algae growth and everything is doing great. I was thinking of just keeping everything where it is. For livestock I have a mother colony and 13 frags of Dendros and one Yellow Assessor.

Any thoughts?
