Hi!
1. I had been running my actinics for 4 hrs a day, 1hr before and after white turn on and 1 hr before and after white turn off. I mis-read some posts a while back lol (this was about 4 years ago, I've been running them wrong since). Now that I'm running my actinics the whole span of the "day" I've had a huge brown algae bloom...is that to be expected? The glass was completely covered with it everywhere.
2. If I get a refugium with a overflow box to feed it and the siphon breaks, will the pump just drain out the one section of the box that it's in and then run dry until it burns out? Thusly only adding a small extra amount of water to my tank...or will it overflow the entire refugium. That is assuming I have baffles.
