I also have some chaeto in my overflow and some in the tank stuck in a corner. i rotate out the pieces of chaeto so that the can get at least a weeks worth of light. keeps them nice and green and growth seems to be good. still slow because of the lack of daily light.

I keep getting pieces of chaeto on the sand bed which my sand sifting gobie seems to clean up right away.

60g fowlr tank soon to have corals once
water chem stays pretty constant and good.

My live rock came with lots of Macro algae on it. unfortunately my tangs found it very tasty.
Macro looks great in the display, and if you get tired of it, borrow a tang!
