hi all i have some chaeto in my dsb with a 14w philips energy saver for more than 8m now and it never seems to have grown
I use a 50w 220v halogen downlight for my cheato & man does that light work as the cheato ends up growing very fast. I have to harvest my cheato at least every second week or 3rd depends on what I fed the tank. So ja the down light work very well

Then try this light it grows really well under this light.
Very True & should have mentioned it. Surely when feeding your fish/inverts that most of left overs going through the over flow into sump/DSB where the cheato is tumbling should feed the cheato the nutrients right?It's not only about the light guys, it also depends on the nutrients in the water. Macro algae is used as nutient export, meaning that as it grows, you prune it and give away, etc, leaving space for more growth - so, no nutrients, no growth.
