hi ,
i have all in one sump / refugium ,,, 58 gal tank ,,, ~ 15 gal sump...
trying to get macro algee in refug to suck up as much waste as possible.
i saw some post that you need slow flow for this to work best ...
right now all flow goes thru first chamber with the skimmer and macro algee , then flows into to section with the return pump...
so all flow currently goes thru "refugium" / skimmer...
quiet abit of flow ... so is this ok ?
the macro algee is dark green , does not seem to grow and change size.
currently ,,, i am getting red and black slime algee in main tank ,, i use roi ,,, good flow in main tank, change out lighting to mostly attenic ...
still have slime ,,, so i am wondering if refugium really doing much for the main tank ?
ok, thanks for any inpu !!
