starting a chaeto reactor

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

 

I have a 25 gallon tank with mostly LPS and softies and some fishes. I got a chaeto reactor as you can see in the picture. It diameter is about 7 inch and the height is 24 inch. It works with a T5 plant light 12/24 . I fill the tube with some chaeto. But it is full of all type of algae.

What could be wrong? And the chateo is not growing.

Could be too large for your system.   Are you keeping the light on 24/7, or running it on a timer.   Also if there is another light source that could be aiding in the algae growth.
