!!!Chaeto Reactor Build!!!! (1 Viewer)

johntdaballa · May 2, 2017

As some of you may know, I am currently working on a chaeto reactor! This will be my small build thread . Feel free to chime in .!! I'm not very good at DiY stuff but will do my best to do so! I have a large AquaaMax reactor and LED from Amazon. Says waterproof IP65

I also have a video I will post as soon as I get on a computer.

What are your plans with this thing?

Originally wanted to purchase a HoB fuge but it was a bit costly! A friend of mine suggested chaeto reactor to help export nutrients.

I thought of algae scrubber but takes too much space. This is the most compact and pocket friendly way. I'll upload video tomorrow

What are the advantages though. Is it just the small size?

The compact underwater scrubbers take up little to no space.

This thread is funny cuz I'm building 2 of these soon one for my main tank cuz I done chaeto to take over my fuge cuz I want it to be pretty lol. And also one for my qt/holding tank. Just to help export nutrients but if I ever have to put copper I will take it off. But that will come in the summer once my tank starts to cycle!

What type of lighting will you use? I have a reactor I could convert to one.
