I finally hit zero ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and phosphates after starting a makeshift refugium. I added a golf ball sized clump of chaeto to the front chamber of the sump and lit it with a full spectrum 6500k grow light on an 8 hour photoperiod - it went way better than I expected. In two weeks the chaeto grew 5x in size and dropped the nitrates (20 ppm) and phosphates (0.25 ppm) down to zero.  I've also installed a Reef Octopus Classic 110-INT and a bag of Chemipure Elite to one of the filter cups. This will by my first time using a skimmer considering all of my previous tanks have been nanos, so any advice on how to tune them or use them properly would be appreciated.</p><p></p><p>I should also mention that I designed and printed a diffuser for my hydra 26 hd. This one is a bit cleaner than other ones I've seen online and took a few tries to get right, but I'm a fan of the final outcome.</p><p></p><p> [ATTACH]1586503[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1586504[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1586513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1586518[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1586519[/ATTACH]</p></blockquote><p></p>
