Hi friends,
About a month ago I started a refugium in the designated compartment of the sump on my Reefer 350 g2.
I have various macros in a plastic mesh net box I made, along with a Tunze fuge light and a power head circulating water.
I am also dosing ocean magic phytoplankton from algae barn. Per the instructions, 30 ml daily on 90 gal total volume.
Recently, I have seen hair algae growing in the refugium, see pics below.
My understanding was that this refugium would reduce the amount of unwanted algae growth, not create a bloom of it in my sump.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening?
