SRC Member Xtrader Posted February 9, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted February 9, 2011 With refugium and algae scrubber in place can we do without Skimmer? I read that this is possible, is that true? Thank for the advice Quote http://www.huatleow.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member onizukaa Posted February 9, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted February 9, 2011 yes, provided the size of the scrubber is suitable for your tank. Also you needs to wipe of the algae diligently else dead algae (without light that is covered by the fresh algae will die off and let nutrients flows back to your tank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Xtrader Posted February 9, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks, onizuki. What about the refugium? What role do they play? Do you need a thick sand bed? Thanks again Quote http://www.huatleow.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Refugium can be simple as one pl light shining on algae (most common and effective will be chaeto). thick sand bed never try before, must ask more bros opinion / exp here! but you can do without it since you already have a algae scrubber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
