DIY Cheato Reactor

So I forgot to take pics last week but I have been trimming this every week down to a golf ball size amount of cheato. Seems after the first trimming it has been growing faster and thicker. Im kinda surprised a bit lol.

I took a pic of todays trimming and what I take it down to will post a pic Tuesday when I get back from KC

 

So the cheato moved up the reactor from the flow through it but it has definitely grown

 

Also noticing a ton of pods in the reactor now too

 

Today

 

How's it doing with your nutrient levels?

 

Just tested nitrates are down to 10 from 25 and phosphates are down from .15 to .09.

Not gonna lie Im pretty excited about that lol

 

Lol. It's working. And you didn't have to buy the $500 pax Bellam or whatever they cost lol.

 

Mine may not look as good as theirs but yes it is working plus I made it

 

It stays in one place and water flows through it. The pump Im using is a sicce 1.0
