Another dumb question: why is "closed loop" better than the traditional return pump from the sump system?

Yes, people say I'm full of it...

Cool, so the sump return pump is different from the pump under the DT feeding directly into the OM.

Slow-ish

The firsttime I loaded it it took forever. The second time it was much quicker. Surfing the different pages (products) was slow-ish.

I am accessing it via Firefox on a Mac.

Macro Algae

I've got a refugium full of algae and zero nitrates. My phosphates were high until I started running ROWAphos.

Then I started reading about the Redfield ratio and learned that both carbon and...

ROWA

I have only used ROWAphos, so I cannot comment on the other products. It treated me really well; it brought the phosphates from 0.7 to 0.2 in less than a month, and it's still dropping. Add to...

Phosphates are difficult to bring down without GFO. I battled phosphates for months, and I didn't really make a dent in them until I started running ROWAphos in a reactor.

Don't give up!

It sounds like you still have a fair number of corals and some fish left. I know it's a major setback, but don't get demoralized! It's a great hobby and you have a head start. Think of it as a...

You have pods!

Definitely a pod. My refugium is full of them; they move fast, and in spurts. As far as colour goes they appear translucent when they are on the glass with the light behind them, but reddish-brown...

Great tank!

How big is the copperband now? What do you feed him? How often? (I have a 3 inch one myself).
