What light(s) are you using? I got a 25w led grow lamp on mine on the 40the chaeto in my 29 dropped the nitrates and phos in like a week. no3 before was 20-40ppm, now is 0-5ppm
the chaeto in the 125 is not working as fast. i am going to do a massive water change (80g) when the new impeller for the skimmer gets here. sort of reset it and see if the chaeto can keep it down. also possible i need to put the light on a timer too strong. running 24/7 turns the cheato white on tops side, i have been flipping it everyday
I just added 1/2 cup of Chaeto to my sump today and I can already see the difference- it's been 5 hours and it's a 40galB lol
on the 29, im just using those submersible led bars, the ones that look like heaters. they are like 10 bucks on ebay. i have 3 in there. i set them all to red/pinkWhat light(s) are you using? I got a 25w led grow lamp on mine on the 40

I just bought these- figured the dual outlet with battery backup would be good https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0856PZLGX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1These have been working well for me; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P76URH8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
i think i have that one - or at least one that looks like it, probably they all look alike. theres a few timers around here that i have never used. not even sure how i got them. question though, can i do a 4 hour on 4 hour off with that one?These have been working well for me; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P76URH8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
