I have 2 AI prime fuge lights over my sump. My phosphates have crept up to 0.24. I'm not trying to run an ultra low nutrient tank (as I've had dino problems in the past due to this). My goal is 0.1 for PO4.
My previous chaeto bed just got overrun by slime and hair algae. Tried another batch which met the same fate. For the last week I've just let the slime and hair grow in the sump. Today harvested a bunch of it. Is there any problem with just using this method as nutrient export? I have a strong team of tangs that keep the DT spotless. Basically I'm thinking it as a very rudimentary algae scrubber.
