[slb11106]

i have calupria (sp) and cheato (sp) and it is doing great in my new refugium, it has been a month and it has filled the box(25gal). now that it is doing so well, i have what looks like green and orange-ish hair algea???? growing on the sides of the refugium, is that good, do i clean the refugium ?

is there anything that i need to do with it ?

on the good side my 90 gal always had nitrtes of 20+ and for the last three weeks or so they are at ZERO...yippie

Toss some snails in there, and to be honest I have been much happier since I removed the caulerpa and just went with cheato. Good luck trying to trim or remove that caulerpa. It just makes a huge mess IME. So can you see pods running around in there yet?

yes i do have a ton of tiny white things and a small amount of pods running around (that i can see) pretty neat how a refugium works....
