Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hello all,
I have been considering adding a refugium to my 20g reef tank since I am now bored and looking to do something.
After finding out that people have successfully converted over their AquaClear 70 HOB filters to refugiums, I thought I would give it a go.
Before I cut up the thing, what are some benefits and drawbacks? My water is pristine due to weekly 15% PWC and reduced feedings along with the new addition of a Fluval 305 filter. Might I get by with less frequent water changes with the addition of a refugium? I am assuming that my nitrates will stay low (zero right now) and my phosphates will also stay low (zero as well).
Any issues to work out about refugiums?
