I built my own algae reactor and love it I don't have a refugium but my wife is setting up one for her sea horse es as we think it will be better.i guess it depends on need but I would definitely run one of them as I have seen a definite improvement R

Not sure what you mean “not as good”. I have one, up and running for 4 months. Keeping nitrates and phosphate in check so far.

If you want a spot for other creatures such as pods I would agree it’s not the best.

I didn't mean to compare the two if I did as I don't have a comparison only ment I built one and am very happy w it but you are right that said my wife is setting up a refugium for her seahorses and that purpose is for their food and hopefully she'll get the same filtering from her refugium As I do from my algae reactor.R

I just didn't know what “not as good” meant from the OP. Several factors on deciding between the two. You should be able to see the difference first hand

I definitely see the difference in running my reactor w no doubt just can't say anything for a refugium as I don't have one and my only suggestion was I would definitely run a reactor and am hoping the same results happen for my wife's refugium but as I don't have one can't speak for one but I would definitely have one of the two as I do see a large help having one of them and I wouldn't go without since having my reactor.hope that clears things up as there's no argument one the great filtering my reactor has given me R
