refugium

Blade Hybrid Algae Reactor 16 • Purchased a turf scrubber to deal with a heavily polluted tank with nitrates of 55ppm and heavy hair algae. • Tank is 92g volume so I purchased the 16 version as headroom and the 10 inch might not benefit as well due to the tank being heavily stocked. Over the...

Hello everyone, my refugium has been running for around 10 or 15 days now and it dropped my no2 and no3 to undetectable levels. My phosphates are still pretty high (po4>2ppm). My temp, ph, dkh, calcium, mg, sr, iodine and salinity are all constantly perfect, and all my livestock are thriving...
