Question. When I set up my tank,I opted to add a refugium to place my broken pieces of live rock into (from shipping). Now it seems that they just turning brown. Is the algae they're growing on them beneficial?
Yes. I'd say about just about a month now. My buddy told me the same thing. That the brown algae will turn green, then disappear. Just gotta wait it out I guess. I've got a lot of room in the refugium. Any suggestions on marine plants?
Looks like there's holes drilled in there.. is there? Water will need to flow through it for it to benefit. Would probably be better hanging on back with a small pump to act more like a true refugium.
All kinds of macro algaes. Chaetomorpha and caluerpa seem to be the popular choices for refugiums. I can only speak personally of chaeto. It is good and hardy!
