It's only visible when you lift up any rock allowing the "mud" to escape all over the place clouding the entire refugium. :neutral:

Get your act together Kien. The only thing that's going to fix this mess is a few new Acans. Thankfully, I know where you can get some.

My refugium currently houses a Yellow Clown Goby who prefers eating acroporas over any other food. He especially likes the delicate colourful acro's and eats those first. In the fuge he is on a strict diet of brownapora.

I don't get it, Kiens fuge looks like a regular reeftank? Does Kien not know what a refugium is?

If you leave it empty they are a lot less maintenance and you will save electricity! :biggrin:

Question for people with a chaeto fuge and running phosphate reactors:

Do you find that near-zero phosphate prevents your chaeto from growing, eliminating the benefits of nutrient export with chaetomorpha?

I used chemipire blue in my old 30g and it ended up killing off my cheato. So I decided to jail use the chemipure as it was cheap and less hassle
