Looking for thoughts on a refugium in my sump. I am considering adding some cheato to the chamber with the heater in it. Is that a good/bad idea for any reason? I'll likely move/remove the live rock that's in that chamber now, or I can leave it. The goal is to get Ph up from the 8.0 to 8.17 range to something a bit higher and help battle some nuisance algae.

That is the only place the heater fits so it's a bit of catch-22. Trying to avoid a whole separate fuge if possible.

I'm definitely no expert - and I'm following along in case someone has actual real information - but I ran cheato in my heater chamber for a good long time without any issues.
