    Nutrient Export in Waterbox 20 Cube

    I have a waterbox 20 cube and I'm having some nutrient issues that weekly water changes aren't solving. I feed 1/4th of a frozen mysis cube per day and 1/4 teaspoon of reef roids per week, so the issue shouldn't be overfeeding. I do not have a skimmer, nutrient removing chemical media, or a...

    Can a Refugium be run ALL the time?

    Is there any cons to keeping the Refugium on all the time? pH is never too high, I over feed(working on it) and think it looks cool. Currently teeming with copepods and baby snails.

    Too much weight?

    Hi all, I want to add a 0.5 gallon Hanging Breeding box to my 10 gal to make a simple refugium for chaeto. I already have a C4 HOB filter on the back of my tank and can’t really put the breeding box elsewhere than alongside it, would it be a risk in the long run?

    Budget external refugium, nitrates did what!?

    Ok after struggling with high to me nitrates at 15ppm , phosphate was 0.05. I decided to try ABIT of a makeshift fuge. Unfortunately my sump only has two chambers so having it in the sump wasn't an option, my tank is 25gallon so opted with a 10litre fuge. I have a 400lph pump in the sump moving...
