Hello everyone!
This is my first ever proper refugium, it's not the best but does what it must.
I'm concerned about pruning the algae, I want to have some to decrease my nitrates and remove some to not shade and take up space. Because as far as I know macroalgae use most nutrients during growth.
Furthermore I'm doubting it's overall efficiency, is there anything to upgrade other than size?
Current NO3: 35-40ppm (desired: 10-20ppm)
Algae species: Caulerpa Prolifera and Gracilaria
Corals in the fuge: Clavularia sp.
