When they say that they want to put cheato in the sump are they refering to the sump of the nano or a tank below with light? What is the point of cheato or live rock in the sump? Info about this is appreciated.

im sorry, but i dot completely understand what your saying. who is they and what kind of nano tank are you talking about (brand or just a small tank). live rock, or more often live rock rubble is put in the sump for aditional biological filtration. rubble is used because it provides more surface area. chaeto is used because it removes wastes from the water in order to grow. these wastes would usually feed algaes. then all you have to do is occasionally remove some chaeto and you wont have a problem

You basically answer my question then. So your saying that I can put live rock rubble in the back of a 24g Aquapod or 28g JBJ tank for better biological filtration? And does Chaeto require light? Any they is just peoples fourms I've been reading.
