Keep updates of your growth. I HAVE A question is I have refuge with sand and cheato when and should I break down my refuge?
Is this coming in from the outlet in over flow or is it being pumped up?Cost Under $40.00. And loving IT
Its pumped in from separate pump. I have a 72 bow with a 20 sump .I didn't calculate the screen size is 10.5 × 12 .Is this coming in from the outlet in over flow or is it being pumped up?
Also, that’s a good size screen. How large is your system and how did you calculate the size of screen? Can too many Po4 & No3 being pulled out?
Have any pics from other angles?
looks great!

Then my screen is way to big for now I'm feeding 1 1/2 cubes a day.Screen size should determine how many cubes a day. For like 2-3 cubes screen should be around 6x6 at least
Really it is that big screen will take all good stuff out of water.Then my screen is way to big for now I'm feeding 1 1/2 cubes a day.
OK, if you're looking to decommission your chaeto fuge this is what I would do.I HAVE A question is I have refuge with sand and cheato when and should I break down my refuge?

Agree it's just a basic size to go by.I don’t think “cubes” is a good unit of measurement. Different brand cubes can be double or triple the size of others, and there are tons of varieties (algae for tangs, mysis, brine, etc). That’s just a unit popularized by Santa Monica IMO
the cube equivalent doesn't just cover frozen cubes, it includes nori, flake, etc. It's a guideline & a reasonable one IMOI don’t think “cubes” is a good unit of measurement.

Your right in what you said. Frozen cubes do vary a little in size. They also vary in water content, so the nutrient levels are also different. I just mean that the difference is somewhat insignificant in the scheme of thing, & the size guideline is more than useful.I don’t understand what you mean. A “cube equivalent” means that a cube sized chunk of flake food has the same amount of nutrients as a cube of mysis, or nori, or brine? That doesn’t make sense to me.
How many hours should I have in on to start?OK, if you're looking to decommission your chaeto fuge this is what I would do.
If the chaeto is growing well I would reduce the chaeto's illumination period by an hour a week, after your scrubber screen has begun to show some growth. (Remember that the chaeto & the algae on the scrubber screen are competing for the same nutrients). Continue reducing it weekly as the scrubber algae increases.
If on the other hand your chaeto isn't growing, & hasn't been growing, possibly dying, stop the illumination of the chaeto completely & concentrate on the scrubber.

Note: Keep the light intensity to the scrubber low at first. Too intense will inhibit the self seeding of the screen. Once a good coverage of algae has established itself, intensity can be increased.
How big should my screen be is it to big 10.5 x 12Your right in what you said. Frozen cubes do vary a little in size. They also vary in water content, so the nutrient levels are also different.

What guidlines are their for protein skimmers? I don't use one, but I imagine that the guideline for them is less precise, but still useful?
This isn't an exact science because each system is different.How many hours should I have in on to start?
