I am looking for something that can be used to contain the growth of some chaeto.  I have a 100g stock container than is 2/3 full of live rock, I want to grow some chaeto in there but I don't want it getting all over the place.  Any ideas?

Well from my experience you can only contain it so much as it follows flow. I tried bags/baskets/egg crate nothing worked it branched out so fast I couldn't keep up!! egg crate lined with cheese cloth worked the best however.

I ended up building an egg crate wall in the 100g sump, I plan on putting some screen that has holes big enough that the copepods can go between the chaeto and the rocks.

I don't really have to keep 100% of the chaeto in this section, just want to keep the mass from migrating to the back where the lights aren't shining.
