Chaeto in a Canister Filter???

Heard a lot of good things about Chaeto in a sump. I wonder if I put some of it in one of my filter media trays if that would work? I assume it won't because it wouldn't have any light but was curious what others thought.

Needs light. Also, a tiny amount isn't going to do much good. Needs to be a decent proportion of your total tank size, with room to grow so that you can trim to cut back nutrients.

Probly would rip it apart anyway and spit it into your tank if you could get it to grow like that.

I figured it would need light. Guess that idea wasn't very good.
