Has anyone done the above with success? Pls kindly share your experience and setup (photos would be wonderful)? I'm planning to do something similar, but besides light and flow requirements, space can be a factor for healthy growth of chaeto, and the limits of the hang-on filter is just that. <_<

Yes, yes. I do not plan to add anything except cheato. Of course, a proper refugium contains many other things like DSB or different types of mangrove, but mine is just a nano tank, so I can only afford to keep cheato.

Anyone else has success with it? What are the modifications to look into?

Interesting... do you mind sharing some photos of this gex hang-on filter? I have the same concern about the surface of chaeto that is exposed to light. If the lights are fixed on top of the filter, only a small surface area is covered. Where do you plan to position your light source?
