Is there such a thing?
if your not familiar a salt refugium isa box filter with live sand, live rock, and tons of macro algae which feeds of nitrates. helping make a system more natural and free of water changes etc. too osme extent, this other board i'm on they are on the quest to eliminate water changes or at least minimize only fr the benefit of the closest thing to a natural system with out human intervention. anyway, i was reading on the diatom algae that tends to feed off excess nitrates and was wondering could you make a fresh refugium with lots of surface area and low light seeded with diatoms and the put a diatom filter between the inlet into the tank and acheive the same results? i was just wondering the opinions of whether you thnk it will work? I may try it and give the definitive answer.
