What do you have in the middle section of your sump?
I have a bunch of marine pure spheres in mine.
Same. No surprise, since most of my design came from Barrett. This is also where I have my heater.
Have you thought of having a refugium in that section?
@Barrett I was looking through your build, is there a reason you didn't do that?
I had a mat of ulva in there, for a few days, for the purpose of giving amphipods a place to breed. That particular macroalgae smelled to high heaven, though, so I removed it. If at some point I think I would benefit from having one to control nutrients, this is where it would go. I believe that @Philipgonzales3 has, or had one, in the middle of his.
What is that? My macro algea? I had just taken a pic of it a few minutes ago showing my friend the aipstasia that it has growing on it. I have some aipstasia X, so may attempt to kill it here in a bit.
Also here is my sump. Cheateo has been growing a lot. I don't even hardly ever tumble it lol.
I also have some ceramic media in the first section with the drain/skimmer in it. I also run carbon.
@New&no clue had a question about using the middle chamber of our sump as a refugium. I thought that I recalled you going that route. Haha, that is some intense Chaeto!
I think I did for a short time but ended up replacing the sump due to a leak/crack. I don't think I had it set up too long though from what I recall. I have a bad memory though lol.
Sorry just saw this, I don’t have a problem maintaining low nutrients in my system, my original plan was to add a algae scrubber when I needed one.Have you thought of having a refugium in that section?

Added a purple firefish, and a Midas blenny, to quarantine, today. I don’t want the clowns to get too comfortable with having the entire tank, and I have wanted a Midas, for quite awhile.
Very nice! Can't wait to see them in the DT!
He's still a little bit shy, but you can already tell how much personality he has. Absolutely beautiful, out swimming around.I love Midas Blennies, I was just thinking about adding one to my tank.
Thank you for checking it out! I've been wanting to dive into your thread for awhile. I'm 100 pages in, which isn't even a dent, but it's fantastic!
Thank you! Absolutely influenced by Skyler. Loving your lawnmower, too!Beautiful Rob! Love it! Their personalities are incredible.
