do this man. i cant believe i didnt help you before.
this is what you need to do!
well first of all you really dont need a skimmer. it really doesnt help. as long as you do proper water changes you are good. doing a refugium is the best way to go. remove everything you got in the back and place a cup with mud or sand in it. put lr rubble in the cup. and place the chaeto on top of it. make sure to have holes or cut a piece of the cup so the water can flow through. also place a bag of chemipure elite. in the 3rd chamber. and if you can a bag of purigen put in 1st chamber but its not necessary. i got mangrove in mine and its the best. its gotten way bigger than before. i will post a pic of my refugium. remove everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no sponge carbon or anything. nitrates get trap there. all you need is chaeto, mud in a cup with a small lr rubble if you wanna grow pods and thats it. plus the chemipure elite and purigen.
this is mine fuge in my chamber 2
