Im afraid to ask this but....bubbles are collecting on the chaeto in my refugium. I mean, really collecting What do you make of that? If this is not good, what can you suggest I do to turn it around?

Most put the chaeto in the bottom shelf of the media basket. you could put it in chamber three but would have to make something to suspend it. I can see it as being a bad idea because of the pump, it will get sucked in and fry the motor.

Not yet. When I find the time I would like to make something there seems to be enough demand. inTank is moving again a the end of the month, I may have something by the end of the year.
