I am in the planning stages for a new 180g reef tank with a sump and refugium.
My thought was to use the fuge for pod and plankton production (as well as nutrient export) and allow the pods and plankton to drain into the main tank as a supplement food source. My question is this: Is this a good idea? If not; why?
I've seen tons of fuges and read lots on them but have only seen 1 source that has the fuge draining into the main tank. Everything else I've seen or read about has the fuge draining back ito the sump.
Thanks in advance for the help...
