Yeah, Tim, that was kind of my point. There's so much turbulence on the reef crest that produces foam, it really may be more "natural" to run a skimmer.

Isn't this a cool hobby? So many choices that work.

In my future sump, I'm going to submerge Bioballs in water (so it's not really a full blown wet-dry.) Hopefully, the submerged bioballs will create nitrate, which in turn help the caulerpa to grow.Actually, refugiums are probably not very good at removing nitrates from a typical reef system, because they're just not big enough to produce enough macro algae to process all the nitrate produced by a typical aquarium with fish.

Look at all those live rocks on the beach at Florida's state park!
