To optimize chaeto growth, get a blinding, pink horticulture led and mount it close to the water.

Find a way to bring the chaeto to the surface for max par, either with clips or support with live rock. You have perfect nutrients to double every 3 weeks. Of course this will lower your nutrients, which is the point.

Everything looks good from the lighting to the flow. Your setup is very similar to mine actually.
Thanks! Got any pictures of your tank? Maybe some inspiration. What are you using for Nitrate testing. I am using the NYOS and having a hard time with the coloration.

I have recently rebooted my tank so all it shows is a bunch of small frags now but here you go.........you can check out my build thread below if you want to see what it looked like before the reboot. I use Salifert to test Nitrates.....seems to be easiest for me to read.

Things look good, the one thing I am missing is the bioload and number of fish...that is what determines feeding really. For cheato or scrubber I highly recommend this light, a real CHAMP
tou will not regret it and actually might have to diffuse it a bit
