Chaeto, a pod hotel, and a couple nerite snails to eat the undesirable algae that grows in there. Thinking about adding an emerald crab if the snails don't keep things in check. Plus I've had dumb snails manage to plug the intake for my skimmer..

Don't know if you care, but marine pure leaches some form of aluminum into water.
This is as tested by ICP, which finds any form of Aluminum, even those which are harmless.
I had the 4 inch blocks in my refugium for 6 months and then removed them, returning the ICP test levels to normal.
I really like the surface area though.
If you search this site for aluminum marine you'll get links to more info.This is disturbing, I had every intention on using blocks in my sump, now it's something to seriously reconsider.
There are a bunch of sumps that I have seen that have those or similar products.
Seriously something I have to look at!!!
Has anyone else had their water tested and come up with similar aluminum results?
I had no idea, I had watched the video on BRS regarding their benefit and it made sense. Being made of ceramic gave me confidence to use them. Per your msg I did a search and now have no intention to use them. I have additional dry rock that I will use.If you search this site for aluminum marine you'll get links to more info.
I didn't either, but I still don't know if harmful, do you?I had no idea, I had watched the video on BRS regarding their benefit and it made sense.

Thank you.

I know many reefers use it with great success, no bad symptoms.
I have a hard time risking it.

See above and search this website for "aluminum marine" for your own info.Do their marine pure balls leak aluminum
I am no expert, but what does that add?What about flow? Wasn’t the thought in the past your cheato needs to “tumble” or is that not the case anymore?
Makes no difference.i have nothing in mine yet, i cant decided what to put in it.
Side question, for those of you running Skimmers also, are they before or after your fuge? do you think it even matters?
