If i have a 100 gal reef with 115 lbs of LR great flow and a sump with just a skimmer will that work or do i need a fuge ?
I personally believe (and I am not alone) that the future of reefing is in multiple attached refugiums. I also believe that the secret to success for keeping a great many of the difficult corals will be found in refugiums.
I disagree. The future will be less natural filtration and more applied science with Probiotics. Most aqua cultured corals you buy today are on some type of probiotic or another. In order to keep these corals were going to need to adapt to there requirements. Wild corals will become a thing of the past in a short time as aqua culturing technology advances and more wild reefs like Tonga are banned.I personally believe (and I am not alone) that the future of reefing is in multiple attached refugiums.

I knew you would and wanted to hear your side. I still think natural filtration and nutrient export via refugiums is the way I want to go. I like refugiums, the way they look, the way the work, the way they stabilize the system, pretty much everything about them. I am not much up on probiotics so I can't comment on it.I disagree.
