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) [IMG][/IMG] ________ make a vaporizer Last edited by Dale; 01-21-2011 at 01:26 PM. |

I don't know
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. ________ buy vaporizers Last edited by Dale; 01-21-2011 at 01:27 PM. |
