new tank set up

[rz1a]

....water is going to come out dirty out of the chamber anyways, its not like the skimmer can right away take out nitrates and phosphates. skimmer is meant to pick up little particles and push them thorugh the top, which is why theres bubbles, so they can attach to bubbles and end up in the collection cup

if you put your refugium before the skimmer, it defeats the purpose of having a refugium, now all you have is a compartment for chaeto to grow instead of being safe haven for copepods and any living organisms. if they copepods and organisms find their way out, theyll end up in the DT where they become food for fish and others
