My Red Sea Reefer Build thread

My levels were too low to tell. Probably why it never grew, but had just enough to stay alive. I always have Nitrate just barely detectable on the regular Red Sea Kit. Around 1 ppm. PO4 varies more but usually 0.03 - 0.10 ppm.

Ill try and set one up then at least its something to help

I am no expert. That was my first real refugium, although I have had planted freshwater tanks as well.

It is my opinion, FWIW, that there are many advantages to macroalgae (and plants) beyond nutrient export. Some related to pH, O2, metals, and things we may not fully understand yet, but observe.

Thats cool, definitely going to have to try it. Im sure my mandarin and leopard wrasse and fang blenny will love it too with all the extra pods. Do you still have a refugium

No. Not in 6 months. I will at some point, or on a bigger tank. Having other issues right now.
