BRS has a great video about refugiums and lighting. If you are experiencing slow to no growth with your chaeto it’s likely that your light source isn’t powerful enough; Meaning that your DT lighting is much more intense and nutrient uptake is occurring in your DT rather than your sump.

I bought one of these lights and had very little success with it. The chaeto that I had at the time died off. I have since upgraded my refugium lighting to something more intense and it's working great for me.

Right now I'm using a Kessel H80. For the size of refugium that I have, 24 L x 18 W x 16 H, it's a little to small. But it's still doing a fantastic job. I'm probable go with the next size up.
