Got a pic of your refugium

My SUMP (refugium).

 

[AnnaVoronina]

A very beautiful aquarium!
The colors of all corals +++)
What are the water parameters ?
From filtering only refugium?
What is the rate of exchange of water between the display and refugium?

 

[Mandelstam]

I wrote about this above
Skimmer Deltec SC3070, refugium with Chaetomorpha (light MH 70w, 4200K phillips), Deltec FR509 with Phosphatadsorber Deltec (GFO).
I'm using Brightwell microbacter7 once a week.

What is the rate of exchange of water between the display and refugium?

The exchange of water between the refugium and display is the same as between the display and SUMP. About 3000-4000L/h

Beautiful tank! What are your parameters like?

kH = 8-8,5
PO4 = 0,010-0,045
Usually, I don't measure other parameters But I'm sure that something like this...
Ca = 400-420
Mg = 1300-1340
NO3 = 2-10

 

[BOWHUNTER4250]

wow !!!! just breathtaking and very impressive !! how are you able to keep those corals growing like that with that high of PO4 ??

 

[Sea MunnKey]

Whoaaa ... nice collections of acros & fish too. How do you acquire these acros ... ?

 

[najer]

Love the fuge, do you harvest the left overflow like an algae turf scrubber?

Thank you I think that 0,01-0,03 is best PO4 for SPS/LPS reef tank. But I also have not seen any problems, when once phosphates were 0.08!

Thanks Yes, It is really difficult to buy some of this Acropora in EU (in the USA or Canada it's much more easy), but...

Sorry, but I don't understand what do you mean exactly

 

[Sgchick]

Wow! Gorgeous reef!!!

Your refugium under the tank appears to be the heart / centre of the tank, do you harvest your algae?

do you run any type of PO4 remover ? how often do you feed ? and you run strictly T5 lights no other supplement ?

If I understood correctly that you are asking ...
Yes, I regularly throw out algae, throw about 5-10l per month.

I'm using Deltec FR509 with Phosphatadsorber Deltec (GFO) about 500ml (exchange every two months approximately).
I'm using Brightwell microbacter7 once a week.
I use some Brightwell produkt (PhytōGreen-S, Zooplanktōs-S, Reef Snow...), PolypLab (Reef Roids, Colors 200)
Food for fish twice a day Omega One Flakes (Garlic Marine Flakes, Super Kelp Flakes, First Flakes) + once a day Omega One "Brown Seaweed" or "Green Seaweed", sometimes different frozen food

Acanthurus Achilles, but it is a very difficult fish
