So, IMO, refugiums are over rated and not worth the extra effort, light and power to keep running, if your goal is to reduce high nitrates and phosphates.

You can say it! Refugiums are yet another marine tank gimmick.

imagine Dez is getting tired of me still putting up pictures of his old tank but think a visible fuge can look great.
