what kinda lighting you got over your refugium? Have you seen a difference since you added it or has been set up the whole time in the tank. Also what kind of substrate do you have in the refugium miracle mud ls ect? :D

I used to have a del rey wet and dry sump but I kinda fix it to become a refugium. I only have a 13w PC on my refugium. The lights comes on when the light on the tank turns off, before there was a little trace of nitrate but since I switched to a refugium there is no trace at all and I guess it's a safe haven for copepods and other critters.

Thanks, yeh the Tang is so healthy he's getting to big for my tank but to hard for me to seperate him from my tank. I knew he was gonna out grow the tank when I bought him but could not resist (you guys know what I mean right). Love your tank too Pineapple.
