It has been 10 days since I did my 90 gallon water change to remove the phytoplankton in the tank. I had a Major green water problem. So bad that I couldn't see the back of the tank. That is when I put the Refugium on the system, so there was another 75 gallons of fresh salt water also added the very next day, so 9 days on that new water. This system is running over 330 gallons of water. I am evaporating at about 4 gallons per day.
