Since my display is just three live rock pillars, I currently have a live rock section in my sump that is full or rock rubble.
The live rock section measures 10"W x 20" L x 7" D. Right now it just has live rock rubble and a backup thermometer.
Not sure how much biological filtration it adds to the system, but there a bunch of copepods and such that like it in there.
I am thinking of adding chaetomorpha to that section to
1) stabilize my pH at night
2)take up some nutrients
I have a 65K grow light that i can stick over that section
Just wondering if I should add chaeto to the system. My NO3 has always been around 5ppm and my PO4 ranges from .07 to .16 without using GFO.
Should I clear out a section of live rock from the middle so the chaeto can tumble right in the middle? or should I clear out half of the rock closest to the wall which the light will be on?
Does it even need to tumble?
Good idea or no? I can put it on my apex to run opposite of the display lights.
is there any detriment to adding macroalgae if my tank is running fine as-is?
