    I've given over 3 gallon baggies full of it away to local reefers in the last few months.

    NO LFS? NO local Reefers with some chaeto?

    I too grow my chaeto in my sump, about a 10g tank worth, on an oppsoite light cycle of my DT.
    I use those clip on aluminum reflectors, and 100W CFL light bulbs- they use around 27W each I think.
    I'm running 200W total on my chaeto, grows like wildfire.

    Really, no local reefers can give you any? I started with a very small amount, less light, etc.
