Hello all, I’m in the process of building a 120 system. I am planning to use a refugium in my system and had questions regarding the sizing..
My question is this; is there going to be that big of a difference when it comes to nutrient export if I use the second chamber vs the first?
My sump is 36x18x16, the first chamber is 17x18 and the second is 12x18. The sump I am using offers the ability to use either the first or second chamber as the refugium.
If I use the first chamber my Fuge will be close to 20g but I give up the option of running filter socks to polish the water *I don’t constantly run socks*.
