Hey randy, how often do you guys trim your fuge on the 160 and what % do you pull out? I've been experimenting with letting mine go a little longer and dying off at the top a bit to release those tasty coral treats triton talks about. Having said that, I realize it's a delicate balancing act. Just curious what you guys do?
I probably pull a soccer ball size of chaeto out once every couple of months and maybe turn the entire mass over at the same time. I couldn't say that it's a very fine tuned or precise task and really feeds into the ULM approaches we've been talking about, because there's less oversight needed while it is more than effective enough to handle my heavy feeding hand. In fact, (a little inside baseball), we've lowered the lighting schedule of the fuge light to only Mon-Wed-Fri and still see nearly undetectable nutrients.
