Water flow is important because cheato does need it for gass exchange, but i don't think it needs a terribly large ammount, as long as you keep it pruned. My cheato grows like crazy (i really suggest doing a 24/7 photoperiod) and i have very little waterflow in my sump. I'm a beleiver in dwell time for rifugiums, so i would say keep the turn over down. just use a little maxijet or something to blow water at your cheato.

Mine is in fairly low flow and light. Eveybody seems to have a wide variety of success with it.

I didn't get much growth out of mine untill i put it on a 24/7 cycle, now i'm pruning it every weekend
