Yeah I was debating getting a plastic tote in there. Right now I have now cheato in there, could never get it to grow lol. I was basically running it with a sand bed and extra live rock I had. I do have 3 reactors I got in a closeout sale from another hobbiest. Right now I'm running carbon and gfo in them.

And yeah I wasn't planning on repairing ha, don't need a wet basement!

Usually, stagnant chaeto growth is a sign of insufficient light. What do you run normally?

Also, ditch the sand and liverock. That sort of stuff has no place in a chaeto refugium. It just acts as a hard to clean detritus trap.
