I'd love to know more about what you're planing I'd like to use ulva but haven't played with it much. Maybe I'll give it a try in my new system
So to recap a 10 gallon fuge with macro algae only. 2 x 80 gallon display tanks. Sump with 30lbs liverock and activated carbon. And protein skimmer rated at 300 gallons. Doing anything else to reduce nitrates and phosphates like vodka or dosing something else?
Sounds cool I'd like a display fuge but for now I'm more interested in efficiency. I think the floodlight will work well for you the only problem I had with them is the driver going out but it was real easy to replace.The similarities between our designs are the smaller than usual water volume, mine only holds about 10 gallons for my 120.
The high intensity light, I'm using 30W eBay floodlights too! I'm tossing up between 10k and 6500k.
The high water flow.
And I'm not planning on adding any sand, and only a single small rock for pods to live in.
With that said, now that I think about there's not much else similar lol.
It's an external, look down display fuge that I plan to house caulerpa, dragons tongue and a few nicer display macros. Add a fish to finish it off and I'm done!
Thanks for the secrets.
Are dosing anything for KH, Mag and CA?
If a refugium with cheatos, live rock and weekly water change can grow SPS like you well heck I'm quitting this hobby right away as I've been chasing my tail trying to get the best equipment to keep my system stable.
I see that you are using ati fixtures for your lights...what salt are you using sir?
I guess keeping it simple will do a trick.

No problem and thanksThanks for the insight information. Def a good read. Thanks.
I'll have to get an exact count but I'm right around 30 fishWhat's the bioload? Reading on a phone sorry if I missed it
I've used them for around 2 years but the drivers only lasted about the first six monthsThanks! One more similarity, besides a skimmer, carbon, and rock, mine will be my only source of filtration too.
You know what they say about great minds
I'll have to look into replacing the drivers. Thanks for the tip. How lion have you been using those lights?
I too am eager to have a look at said secret baffle.So any pics of the top secret baffle?

Also, I couldnt help but notice you stress the importance that your Chaeto is kept "spinning." To spin is to fully rotate 360 degrees, as opposed to say, a 180 degree rotation back and forth like a wash cycle. So I have to ask: what keeps your Chaeto spinning, and what is the advantage to a spin over a rotation, or a tumble?
