Re: brainstorm or insanity???
im sure it's possible. You'd just want to make sure nothing gets sucked into the tube leading to your sump. maybe make a cage that sits around the tube with a bunch of small holes in it.

Re: brainstorm or insanity???
I've heard of other people using chaeto in the back of an overflow tower.As long as it's getting light,I believe it will be fine.You may have to move it around once a week so it doesn't grow and clog up the drain screen.

Re: brainstorm or insanity???
so when you are using it in a fuge do you keep it lit 24/7 ? or run the fuge light on the same schedule as your main tank

Re: brainstorm or insanity???
The towers make a better spot for live rock rubble. Will do a perform a different function than the macro algae but, at least it will use up some of that huge wasted space, and little light is necessary for coraline, plus no clogging problems to work out.

Re: brainstorm or insanity???
Ah, I do not beat up everybody for every thing. This time I was even being civil and attempting tactfulness. I have reasons for my what I do. I think I do it well, I might add. Step on a few toes I do, but the info gets out there. I think some people just have ingrown toe nails or some thing, because their toes seem real tender. I recommend pliers for ingrown toe nails. No lidocaine, just grab on and yank real hard. Not you. I was just generalizing.
