I was really considering a chaeto reactor since the ATO container is so small but I was running out of room in the stand. I hope the refugium is enough. I did the full Triton method on my last tank but it was 150 total water volume and I was wondering how difficult it would be on this tank.....only time will tellI have the same tank but did a DIY chaeto reactor. I have to empty that thing every two weeks. The growth is insane! I also run triton other methods. I haven't gotten up the nerve to stop water changes. With the small water volume the trace elements showed as high on my last triton test.
