Let me see your fuge! Also whats worked the best for you and what hasn’t? Ive got a 40B sump right now with a fuge and also a CW ATS. I have noticed since ive started the fuge up again its really been helpful in conjunction with my ATS!

One thing i do that i haven’t seen yet is running a couple extra lights in places beside just over the fuge, anyone else do the same?

1x kessil H80 above and two cheap DIY lights on either side. Essentially lighting the underside of my chaeto.

One light above fuge only. I light it on the opposite time schedule of the main display tank. 90 gal mixed reef 20 gal sump.

I run opposite as well, although i do run my ATS longer. Seems to be doing the trick. I was curious as i’ve been seeing alot of people talking about their chaeto dying on the underside. I personally run an air stone at the bottom and have lights on either side with a light above and it works great!

Interesting setup!! What I do for the chaeto is roll it over once a week and never had a problem for the last 3 years. I'm running a white t5 7k 25 watt bulb that the chaeto seems to like.

i used to do the same and had these two old lights laying around and figured id experiment, and it works pretty dang good!

I'll have to dig around but there was a thread not too long ago where they used submerged fuge lights with one above and there growth skyrocketed.
