Hi, have never used an Algae scrubber before. Want to know the following:
(1) will an Algae scrubber actually removes carbon dioxide from the saltwater and oxygenates the water too.
(2) Also will cyanobacteria grow on the algae scrubber mat and if yes will it keep the cyanobacteria confined to the scrubber and none will be in the display tank?
(3) Will an ATS be too efficient and cause all macro algae ie dragon's breath, blue hypnea in the display tank to wither and die off
I am using a refugium with Chaeto at the moment. The Chaeto does add oxygen back to my tank and scrub out CO2 from my water.
