You’re welcome! First 3 min is just explaining his setup for the same sump as you and why the ato chamber fuge doesn’t work for him. Then he shows the mod to add an improved refugium. Looks pretty simple to me but everyone’s skills vary

Amazing! Much appreciated. I still have a reason to build a new sump though. lol, this will work in the mean time. I’m looking at building a 48Lx24Wx18h acrylic sump with fuge

We look forward to seeing it one day!

just addin info….
Ulva (water lettuce) could also work in situations where chaeto presents a Skimmer/ Pump clogging situation but I don’t find it’s as effective as it can only get so dense per surface area vs. Chaeto
….ulva can also “sometimes” clog skimmer and return pump intakes but is less worrisome
