Refugium good size ?

[jorge0912]

Finally had the time to take off the baffles to make my refugium bigger .. the macro algae had exploded every since ... is this a good size refugium? Or do I need it even bigger ?
Is a 20 gallon sump on a 75 gallon tank

Triton suggests a refugium with 10-20% volume of DT I'm not sure how much that is but assuming you do water changes you should be good to get benifits from it

Seems to be serving its purpose, is there a reason your looking for a reason for a bigger fuge? (nutrient export isn't enough, want to grow dif macros, etc...)

So sorry for the late response
And I was told a while back it was too small so I took of the baffles to make it bigger and well that was my final setting
Just wondering if It will be fine had to remove macro algae heater day becouse it had already outgrown it
It grows like crazy now

Looks good to me man. Like that shrimp in there

 

[jorge0912]

My bad sorry
In other words I was told it was to small

 

[Goodair]

I don't see any harm in getting a bigger one, but wouldn't sweat it. If your happy with it now, and it's doing it's job, I'd leave it alone.

Mine is small but does the trick. - its all about efficiency. If nutrients are high, increase flow or photo period or just let the algae grow out more.
