Hi all, I was wondering if you could replace running macroalgae refugiums with carbon dosing for nutrient control/export. I have not tried carbon dosing, but conceptually it seems like it might be easier to maintain levels of nitrate and phosphates by dosing vs estimating with mass of macroalgae. That combined with the bacteria being eaten by filter feeders seems like a win:win.
In my tank I am having a hard time maintaining detectable levels of NO3 and PO4 with heavy feeding and a small amount of chaeto. I thought I might have an easier time with an easy to control dosing regimen.
Thoughts?
