It’s going to be in ‘lagoon’ mode for a few hours Pancho! LolI think chaeto needs darkness, I have mine with light during 18 hours a day and it is doing so so, slow grower. I would not cut the flow as the sea never rests. The settings you were using were the recommeded by the manufacturer?
The flow settings were as recommended, I started midway between the recommended flow, then turned to the top end, neither made much difference, so I’m now trying the lower end of the flow scale to see what happens.
My nutrient levels have been static for ages at around 20ppm nitrate and 0.03 phosphate which are fine.
In reality I only purchased the ALR2 because I’ve always liked the idea of a refugium, but without the mess and of course I had nothing else to fiddle about with! Lol
But now I do, and my mind will be fully occupied for some considerable time very shortly......
