To read what I have read, I get the impression that a dedicated refugium serves the function of either growing pods OR macroalgae, but NOT both. I am confused by this. Does one negate the other?
I have a dedicated, 12-gallon refugium that will not be hidden away in a stand, but it will be proudly displayed alongside my reef aquarium. I figured out the plumbing, so that is not a big deal, anymore. However, what to put IN the refugium has suddenly caused me great confusion.
I want to have it all in my refugium: pods, live rock, deep sand bed, and macro algae all in the same 12-gallon tank. If necessary, I am willing to separate sections of the refugium by way of divider panels, such that the clashing components don't mix. Whatever it takes. But is that really necessary? Why can't I just throw everything together in one refugium soup?
How can I best achieve my goal here?
All wisdom greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
