| Re: Mega-Powerful Nitrate and Phosphate Remover Replaces Skimmer, Refugium, Everythin
You can suspend it above fuge, that's fine. Might even be able to get the lights closer to the screen.
Turf is different from a fuge in so many ways:
o Reduces N and P to much lower levels than fuge/macro can.
o Is very quick to respond to excess nitrate and phosphate spikes (the turf "screen" always
stays the same size after it is trimmed); much quicker than refugiums/macros which have
smaller surface areas after they are trimmed.
o Traps no waste/food like a refugium or DSB does; waste/food flows right past the screen.
o Does not release strands into display, like chaeto.
o Does not go sexual, like caulerpa can.
o Is 1/2 or 1/3 the size.
o Weighs nothing.
o Cools the water.
o Much easier to clean/harvest.
o Can be hung above tank so pods drain into tank.
o Is free.
o Is portable.
o Can run two, for backup.
o Will oxygenate the tank if main return pump goes out. |
