Sorry gang, but here I go again...!
To this day I still don't understand how a refugium can sort of "force" all the microalgae and macroalgae growth to grow inside IT, and magically keep the display tank clear.
I mean, how does the tank "know" not to allow any HA to grow in the display tank - just because it's growing in the fuge? The way I look at it, if you had HA, for example but no fuge, and then one day you ADDED a fuge, and HA started to grow in it, why wouldn't it CONTINUE TO DO SO in the display?
Is this sort of like the "sacrificial anode" that is used inside some water tanks, wherein the anode will rot away while the rest of the water tank remains free of corrosion?
Thanks for any help clarifying this for me...!
