Chaeto is overflow box possible?

[Freddyprince]

Hi, I would like to check if growing Chaeto in the overflow box in my display tank possible? Although it's a lot of spaces but I am thinking of trying to harvest some by providing some light there.

It might choke ur overflow pipe n cause flooding

Yea.. Not worth taking the risk of having a swimming pool outside ur tank.

Ok thanks for the reply.

Just get an isolation box and put them inside

[Freddyprince]

thanks but I doubt that the box can fit into the area because of the euro brace

Can try something like this? A plastic basket with a suction cup or hook?

[Guest]

Just to understand on the objective of growing Chaeto here?

Typically folks grow it in the sump refugium to reduce nitrate/phosphate (quite minimal impact though).

Or more often, a refuge with slow water flow for copopods to grow.

My objective is to use to feed fishes.. Lol not for phosphate control.

My over pipe that runs to the bottom sump works by siphon and I had already use a mesh to cover it to prevent snails or others to stuck in the pipe. Will try to look out for isolation box or basket to give it a try.. Lol

Thank you guys..

My fishes don't go near Chaeto. What fishes do you intend to feed them to? Read somewhere that it might pose potential digestive issue.
