[louisvilleboy]

thanks for the help ive got a 220 gallon reef with a 35 gallon sump and a 75 gallon refugium with a deep sand bed with one pump split goind to display and refugium water in fug is running slow like everyone says question is i also have a koralia number one in there it was running 24 hours a day i read on here that i should not run it is this the case or what thanks again

If I understand you correctly, the Koralia is in the refugium, not the display tank. I certainly don't see any problem with that. Some macro algaes don't like a lot of flow, but I don't see a Koralia 1 being an issue in a 75 gallon fuge. It sounds like a good plan to me. I think most people's refugiums tend to collect a lot of detritus because there's too little flow. As long as it's not kicking up sand, I'd say keep doing what you're doing.

yes it is in the fuge its not moving sand at all i just wanted to make sure i wasent messing up
