refugiums

I have a 75gl. reef tank with a tidepool sump but was thinking of adding a fuge to it, would it be worth doing and wondering what would be the best way to addd it to my sump.

:thinking:
Maybe a small power head to pump water to the fuge from the sump and then let the fuge drain or syphin back to the sump. If you have room....

If you're wanting to grow macroalgaes, why not just chuck some chaeto under your inflow and focus some PC lighting on it 24/7.

what's CHAETO?

Chaeto=Chaetomorpha
A type of macro algae sometimes called spaghetti or brillo pad algae. Some argue it the best macro algae to use because it does not sometimes turn sexual and release a lot of the nutrients it has taken out of the water back into it. Calupera does this I have heard.
