What is more important to you guys Chaeto in the refugium or algae scrubber?

Chaeto houses pods and reduces nitrates at a lower cost level

I'm giving ulva a try in my fuge.

I have my mixing station in the garage right under my tank i was thinking about throwing a pump right in the container to send the water up rather than carry buckets to and from for water changes that will definitely help me do it more often especially if it's connected to a smart outlet

For sure that is a good idea. How far away is that tank from the water changing station in the garage? You can wrap vinyl tubing around a garden house roller and put a ball valve at the end. Turn on the pump, walk to the tank with the hose and open the ball valve to fill it up.

Do you atleast get to enjoy it from the garage??

Haha the garage is my man-cave. I’m going to start a rebuild thread in a few months when the tank comes out of the garage.

Another vote for fuge - its not just about the chaeto, its also the biodiversity/critters thats housed in the chaeto. Adds a lot if stability.
