in the ideal world, we would love to have only Chaeto (or some prefer Caulerpa) in their fuge (sump) but in saying that, if worst come to worst, the refugium is filled with all sort of misc. algaes i.e. GHA, Caulerpa, Chaeto, Red Dragon, Bryopsis .. does it really matter? I mean as long as they don't go up to the Display Tank and as long as they can outgrow the algae in the DT by out-taking the majority of nutrients (No3 and Po4) .. that's basically the whole concept of having a refugium right?
I am all for cleanliness of the sump ... but I don't understand when some folks panic when they see GHA growing in their refugium ... you can't see them anyway .. as long as they don't travel to your DT and they uptake all the nutrients and starve those algaes in DT.
