I clean my refugium every week to every other week as far as harvesting goes. Sometimes I will pull out a full gallon and a half bucket of algae at a time, and that's only from trimming half of it. On average how much algae do you pull out from your refugium when you clean it?
 
I typically do about 2 gallons of chaeto each week, which is about a 30-40% pruning. I dose nitrates and ChaetoGrow.
