skywhitney said:I was using the hose outside but it was leaking quite a bit. It felt like there was still a good amount of pressure going through even with the leak.
skywhitney said:Well on a happy note i got my stand today! The doors are still being finished but thats ok cause it'll be nice and easy to get everything set up and installed.
skywhitney said:Got a new 50g trash can tonight (and i made sure it didn't have any visible holes). Leak test and hopefully water mixing tomorrow!
Now i need advice. I've done a lot of reading and im hearing both good and bad things about running a refugium. What are your takes on this? Would i just be better off putting LR rubble down there (which i've heard as another suggestion)?
skywhitney said:Some of the bad things I've heard are:
It is like a whole other tank to take care of.
The algae can crash or go sexual and release all it's stored nutrients back into the aquarium along with spores.
detritus buildup
a lot of negative remarks in regards to the DSBs.
The pros definitely outnumber the cons but I just wanted to get everyone's opinion(s) on this before I start setting stuff up.
