I am looking to convert my ATO on my red sea reefer 170 into a refugium. I have a lot of biological filtration and my protein skimmer is way over powered so I am not looking to utilize it as a main source of filtration, but more as a benefit of sorts. I want to feed my aquarium heavily, and exporting the excess nutrients. My only concern is the health of a refugium only a new aquarium i.e 4 months ish. Some of the rock I have is newer and some is older as I have upgraded so I added extra. I remember reading that refugiums don’t do well on newer aquariums, should I wait? Or should I just go ahead and start it? Any input it helpful! Thanks!
A little overview of my tank. I have 3 fish and cleaner shrimp. I feed pellets and frozen small amounts throughout the day. And as you can see there is a ton of poopy water being pulled out!
