I just ran across this as I was wondering if I could use macro in the display of a reef tank and forego the refugium while also giving the fish some needed extra nutrition. Are you still doing it and what’s the year update. Very curious as to how it’s working for you. Has it helped in reducing nitrates and such? Thanks.

Great video, awesome idea. The only thing i would air caution on is the type of plastic you put into the tank. I think there are like 7 different plastic compounds that are used and only 2 of them are food grade. Other than that great video.

Hi, Thanks for the great idea, applying this will definitely organise my refugium as it looks very messy and crowded, my aim is to also reduce peaces of floating chaeto that can go into the pumps and block plumbing equipment. If it is in a ball that floats then it will also roll and get the lights to all parts which might enhance growth. The only thing that surprised me in your experience is that chaeto grows on blue light, I was told by the fish store I dealt with that chaeto must have red lights (refugium lights). I will definitely try it on corals light just to see if there will be any difference. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@SimpleAquariumsLauren2 жыл бұрын
No worries at all!! I think red lights are the preferred type of light for best growth, but it will definitely grow under other types of light! 😁🙌🙌🙌

Hi, does the small amount of chaeto you have in 2 hamster balls help with reducing nitrite and phosphate in your 6 foot tank? I have 90 gallon 4 foot and I have been told I should have at least the chaeto in size of basketball to help with nitrite and phosphate. I don't know I have room this big in my display tank. I have 2 canister filters like you.

Those don't look like you will be able to grow that much for your huge tank. You should look at a fish aclatimation box. They hang in the tank and have little holes to let the water in. But are much bigger than the balls so you have way more room to grow the alge.
