    So, picked up some inTank media baskets (including fuge basket). What I'm wondering is about lighting for some chaeto to help knock out my nitrates. I was debating something like this:
    2x4 White LED Waterproof Fountain Aquarium Lighting

    Does anyone have experience or advice with this?

    Cheato doesn't need much light. Go to home depot and get one of those cheap clamp on sliver lights with the swirly energy saver light bulbs. My cheato grows so fast, my boyfriend has been ripping pieces off and throwing it out in the grass. It is full of little snails and copepods.... Little did we know.. we can sell it hahah

    Where did you get your lights and how much were they?

    I pulled the flap off the back of mind and set an 18 inch aquarium light that I had in the garage.
