Refugium help

[Alli]

My algae in my refugium always dies. I have no idea why. I have a Kessil refugium light. Thanks for any advice.

Hello Alli. Welcome to R2R :)

What livestock do you have in your tank? What are your water parameters. (nitrate and phospate)

If there aren't enough nutrients in your water the chaeto? or other refugium algae will starve.

The last time I did a test they were all normal

What's normal? :)

Need some hard numbers.

 

[Alli]

Ok. I will look for the report.

Post a picture of your sump to showing your fuge set up. Here is mine for reference to give you an idea of the chamber and light position.
