Chaeto flow

I have low flow in my sump and am wanting to increase the growth of my chaeto. Will adding a maxi jet help benefit the growth?(besides my 6500k cfl bulb)

i have a small koralia in my sump to keep the water moving and it does seem to help with chaeto growth somewhat.

The more flow and light you give it the faster it will grow.
