The macro isn't something I deliberately put in there, it's something that sprouted out of the rock voluntarily one day. Not sure where it came from. I figured it would subside on its own once zeo kicked in and I was fine with that. It however just hasn't happened. Must be one of those survivor species.
Maybe I'll see if anyone else wants it and thus just pull it out. It is a really keen purple thing, someone might like it. Or I might just let my tang and rabbitfish at it..
Not sure about the recommendation to remove refugiums. If they mean, don't try growing macros for the sake of nutrient export, that's common sense. But if they mean remove any tank that shares the sump, that's just out and out ridiculous. My 40g isn't a "refugium," it's an extension of the display tank where I house my clowns and carpets. If I can't run zeo with this tank on the same sump as the 75g then I just won't run zeo, that's a simple call.
