Cheato in FR

[fishiee]

Just wondering - is it possible to keep cheato in a fluidized reactor? with lighting and all that of course.

PS: I don't have a sump, so ya.

chaeto grows real fast, it might hinder ur media inside from "pulsating".

I've been running chaeto in an FR for a couple of months now. No other media in the FR of course.

the FR is lighted by a small PL light, its working reasonably well, but I think I need to get a stronger light source

for the FR.

No other media in the FR of course, and its one of the bigger RM ones, you might want to ensure that

the diameter of your FR is big enough that you can at least put your hand all the way into it, if you need to clean it out.

i have toyed with the idea as well but lighting the fr evenly would be tough. also i was thinking sooner or later brownn algae, coraline or even cyano will cover the fr and you would have to empty everything out and clean it up. would it be better to set aside a partition in the sump for fuge?

Not a good idea as it may choke the outlet. And what is the rationale for putting chaeto in FR instead of in sump ?
