for cheato also depends on light and spectrum and area of exposure, get those blue red grow lights, and higher power one, also try max out ur cheato exposure by spreading across the surface to max out light adsorption since cheato always float to surface. this is for fuge, if u going reactor route should have no problem

if got budget and space can buy from US online santa monica ats, if no money go taobao search, but the lights included is most likely cmi, the light wattage i tink depends on ur bioload and feeding schedule, i currently using 45w light. go youtube check out diy ATS, if u good at DIY, can copy.. if u bery free also see how they explain fuge lighting, really need strong light lah, otherwise how to outcompete display tank light lol...

alternative is go pasar malam see if ppl let go cheato reactor... from wat i see fellow reefer harvest from reactor is thick and lush, is good option imo, but u need to look out for the light i recommend should radiate from center, i got DIY before using two little fishy phosban reactor and just shine light from outside, not very good cos green hair algae start growing on the reactor wall and block the light...my 2 cents lah..
