I am not sure what the difference is between a turf scrubber and a refugium (I do have a big one!).
Very good info on the skimmer! Thanks. I'll just stick with what I got. I do need to run a skimmer if for nothing else than the bubbles because I do solid carbon dosing (biopellets in media reactor) and need the skimmer for that. I might get some more carbon pellets to help with the nitrate (minimal to begin with because my algae gobbles it up).
If I am honest with myself I sort of knew the algae was going to happen since I had that major diatom bloom following the liverock removal. Basically I cycled the tank and I sort of expected the green algae to follow the diatoms just like in the initial cycle.
Well it's here and I don't like it. lol
