Cheato Growth/Cheato in DT

Im thinking about putting Chaeto in my DT, I do not have room in my sump. How fast does it usually grow, is it suitable for for the DT, any other ideas or reasons I should not move forward? I am new to using Chaeto so any helpful advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Depending on available nutrients chaeto will grow fast. I wouldn't consider it suitable for a display though. It is best in a fuge, tumbling. It doesn't have a runner or holdfast so it will become a mess in a DT.
