Who uses Refugiums?
Since the use of refugiums are so common on smaller systems, I want to know if they are just as important to large tanks. Who uses them here and what benefit do you feel they provide?
I have 300 gal refugium set in my garage and plan to plumb in a 90 gal display through the wall into the house. This tank area leaves room for future upgrade to a larger size.The display will be in the dinnig room with this plan. Although there may be better places for a display tank, the other areas would not be possible to plumb into the refugium. The refugium has DSB, hundreds of pounds of LR, large volume of Marco Algea, Skimmer, Auto top off. What are your ideas on the value of the refugium to the display?
Also, what are the easiest and most cost effective methods used to keep large water volumes up to level in calcium, alk, mag?
