DIY chaeto factory

Anyone have any more pictures of how they built it? I'm finally getting around to making one and Decadence's links aren't showing.

My chaeto is petering out in mine, but it's basically one bulkhead in the bottom and two uniseals up top with the fittings shown in some of my pictures.  If I had it to do differently I'd put the bulkhead on the bottom right in the center.  I also wouldn't use the unions I did because they're a pain in the neck even though they made sense at the time.  I'd also put some eggcrate in about an inch or so from the bottom to stop the chaeto from getting sucked in to the drain. 

 

Lately, my ATS is growing much more and my nutrient levels are low enough that my chaeto doesn't really grow.  It just collects detritus and serves as a substrate for lots of cyano.  Haha.  I may take it offline for a while and start again if I see more nasty growing in the display.
