Ten gallon refugium on a 120 gallon tank. It's loaded with microfauna and chaeto grows quite well although it doesn't seem to float anymore. Been going for almost 2 months. Sides are covered with green hair algae. Phosphate and Nitrate are stable at .03 ppm and 2 ppm. How often should I, if ever, clean the sides on the refugium? It's to the point that I can't view the chaeto really from the sides. I took out a handful of chaeto doing the last water change, the same amount of chaeto I started it with 2 months ago and there is still a large amount in there.
