Possibly the most boring video ever posted to the net but still... fish geeks will be fish geeks.

Apparently it is a good idea to tumble you M.A. in the refugium. This reduces water flow dead spots and exposes more algae to the light. I haven't been able to achieve this for a long time but after switching refugium and skimmer chambers, thinning out the macro and the addition of a simple Hydor powerhead I did it. It's like having a tornado in the sump. I was so tickled I had to share (click on image) :smile:

Awesome!

How did you achieve this?

Can you please tell us more in details?

thanks!

I don't know :mrgreen:

Originally I had my sump configured like this:

Flow to the refugium was supplied by teeing off my returnline and directing some of the flow back into the fuge. It was a good theory but it never worked right. I think the size of the fuge was too large and the current was lost.
Just the other day I decided to switch the fuge and skimmer chambers around and added a powerhead. The flow from the powerhead is just off center and it creates a whirlpool effect. I also thinned out the macro and this helped too.

Tinker tinker tinker - That's all I know. The rest is up to the aquarium gods.
