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

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

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
