    I just want to take a minute and thank everyone for the help that is given out on this forum.:cheesy: Finally, the chaeto in my sump has started growing and has doubled in size. Sounds like a silly thing, but it has been 1-1/2 years just sitting down there doing nothing'. All the "little" hints and helps have worked. ya'll are the greatest.:)

    what kind of lighting did you have your chateo under when it wasn't growing? I have to cut my chateo back every month. I'm glad it's finally workin' for ya!

    It was the mini compact fluorescent 50/50. Got from LFS. Switched to GE energy smart daylight 6500K. Have to say I also put the bulb closer to the fuge. The combination was the trick. ;D
