Well, i got it modified now, loaded it with chaeto, couple pounds of live sand and about 1 1/2 lbs of LR, loaded the middle chamber with chaeto. The water flows over the first divider, under the second (mainly, some spills over the surface) I left the lid off until i can get my dedicated lights on. I will post some pics once i get the lights on it. I had to load the intake tube with foam to slow the flow down some, so now i have MORE maintenance each week, although the chaeto theoretically should consume the phosphate and nitrates that it produces. Obviously cleaning them though will allow the chaeto do do its intended job with the tank. I am going to take some baseline water quality measurements now to compare to see if it does anything but grow macro and pods (which is all i want for mandarin food).
