polarbear Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I have a under tank refugium with live sand, live rock, and macroalgae. I am starting to get a lot of algae growth (both green and coraline) on the sides. Should I try to scrap or rub this off? I like viewing into the refugium to see all of the critters in there but it is starting to get hard to see in. Also, I have my light hanging down and signing in through the back becuase the filter at the top blocks the light. I am worried that the algae growth will block the light from coming in also. What should I do? In these pics the light is hanging from the top but I moved it. Just wanted to show how the fliter was blocking the light. Also, this was before all of the growth.

Reybeast Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I feel for you, I used to like to see the baby serpent stars in my fuge too, but scraping the sides got old and eventually I fell behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddybluewater Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Cleaning the fuge is the main reason I don't have sand bed in my fuge. It looks like you have a turbo snail in there, you might want to add a few more snails and I like to keep a few hermits in there also.
