Thoughts on hob refugium. I know they are to small for a 90. The goal is not to eliminate algea growth, seahare just a place for pods to grow.

Ive always found them effective and valuable

I use warm water and citric acid.
Soak for 5-10 minutes max and scrub gently should just fall right off and be clean as a whistle!
Or if no citric acid just use warm water and old toothbrush or something to scrub.

This is what I did this morning with my gyre's. It was a couple months and I could see that they are making more noise and falling off. Removed them, took apart, and sure enough a lot of green gunk. Warm water bath and a tooth brush with a pinch of elbow grease. Clean with the exception of the built up coralline algae.

I use my snail population also as a reference. Once the gyres become the hang out or party zone I know it is time to clean :)

Here I was. Wanting to buy new powerheads... thinking I needed more flow...

and now after a quick warm water bath I just had to turn them down to 50-70% power

 

[alimac122]

Spam because things are moving around so nicely now that there’s flow :)

Is t5s being Hot a myth?
Mine are in a passively cooled fixture and barely noticed them.
I’m starting to feel that them being hot is to add to selling point of leds
