Cheato Info...

My impression is that Cheato needs Light to Live, but Nutrients to grow.... Is this a correct statement?

Meaning you can put it in a tank if there are no Nitrates or Phosphates it will survive via photosynthesis, but will not get any bigger. However growth is an indicator of Nitrates and Phosphates being removed from the water and used to support additional cell growth in the Cheato?

True. YOu can cycle a sump/fuge at the same time you cycle your tank.
