Now that is pretty! Nice work!
How long has this been similar, but not yet grown so lush?
Seems that since I started my refugium last year, it's took off even more. All parameters have stayed pretty much the same. Still around 30-40ppm N03 and close to 0.10 P04. Refugium's with macro algaes, in my case chaetomorpha, really don't do all that good at reducing those numbers.
All I can think of is a bump in PH stability from reverse lighting. Still using the same amount of kalkwasser in the ATO. Alkalinity stays very stable at 9.3 DKH. I take out around a gallon of chaetomorpha a month out of around 5 gallons total.
Nothing dosed, except the kalk and a thumb nails worth of LRS reef frenzy broadcast a day for fish and coral.
Overall, tank is very stable.
