I have been looking in to this a bunch. Many vendors are still selling the reactor packages with the led lights wrapped around. I知 wondering if this happens over time as the acrylic gets older, constantly being heat up and cooled. I知 not sure, the reactors used most often are the AquaMaxx though.

Most actual Algae reactors coming out now are the center lite versions with a heatsink running LEDS ran inside a center tube. No heat issues as the heatsink removes that issue. I was planning on doing a DIY version of one of these since it would be super easy, but I have no need for any nutrient export. I actually dose nirtates to keep them detectable. https://reefbuilders.com/2015/11/12/...-chaetomorpha/ |

Those setups are so sweet with the internal light tube but so pricey. I have a ball of chaeto in my sump right now but haven’t saw any growth out of it really. How long does chaeto normal take to see noticeable growth with nitrate and phosphates present?
I’m jealous that you need to dose nitrates. I’m hoping with the upgrade in tank that my bioload is reduced a bit that it lowers in the water volume. Otherwise I will have to stick to the chaeto and vinegar dosing.

I still vote that the slime was excess bacteria from liquid carbon dosing. Good luck with resuming dosing. |
