HI I have a question. Anyone with a jbj 45 using a chamber with chaeto? i was thinking bout 2nd chamber from left turning that into chaeto with a light but will there be a lot of algae grow in that chamber with the light and all?

Marine Depot has a video out on the JBJ and using which for what I think they used the outside ones because the outside ones flows down and then into the second chamber where the second goes up and into the middle ( return) chamber you may also want to get a intank baskets which are larger and hold more
I ran in the 2nd chamber. No algae issues. Ran lights opposite to the main tank. Like I said, I recommend using a refugium basket so you can contain everything in it

I have a JBJ 45 Flat Panel. I run Chaetomorpha in the second chamber in an InTank Fuge Basket. My Chaeto grows slowly, but is solid. I had green film algae along the acrylic and glass at first. I would just clean it off and eventually it stopped. Lately though. Cyanobacteria is growing around the Chaeto. My guess is my lights are a little too high back there and the flow is too low. No room for a pump there, but I have considered adding an air stone to get some water movement. The Cyano is easy to remove. Neither algae spread to the display. Overall it works well if I keep up regular maintenance with the cleaning of the basket.
This is the light I use. It can run one, two or three of the lights at 8 levels of intensity. I run all three at about 60%.

yea this is exactly what i dont need more work lol... the area where my tank will be in has a wall and i can't easily get to the sides of the tank making it super hard to do maintenance. At this point i think santa monica will be cleanest choice, not my favorite choice but cleanest..do you guys think santa monica will produce enough algae growth to make a difference?
