Refugium flow

[muck]

Hmm... I couldn't tell you cause its Teed off my return line with a ball valve for control.
Its not open very much though.

Is there a way to stop the flow between your fuge and you main tank, then check your nitrate level in week or so? When I lost my fuge to an unfortunate accident (don't ask ) my nitrates went from 20 to 10. I think it was because I didn't have enough flow in my fuge, and I was getting detritus settling.

Yes I can certainly do that and have already done it . Thats my feeling as well about the lack of flow and crap settling on the sandbed and possibly choking the life out of it.
