Hello,
I am setting up a Refugium for the first time in my sump. It will be in the middle compartment. I have a few small rocks already in there now, and will be using a Tunze Eco Chic 8831 Refugium Light. I was wondering if there is a certain type of Macro Algae that I should buy to put in it?
Also, what about algae growing on the sides of the chamber, etc? Will this be an issue requiring maintenance? My Skimmer will be is the left chamber...will light cause bad algae to grow on the skimmer? I do have a Red colored Sump BTW, which I think is supposed to control light in adjoining chambers, but maybe not?
Any advice before I start this up?
thanks!
