    Refugium size vs tank size & macro algae

    Size for refugium - I've always read bigger is better but I've never seen an actual rule to follow. I have a 90 gallon display and my refugium will be on the small side of around 10gallon. It's all that will fit under my stand. I tried to talk my wife into a 24g cube next to my display but I got...

    What camera do you use?

    Nikon D200 with 60mm macro. I wish my wife bought the 120mm macro. I'm married to a photographer but she won't shoot my tank go figure.

    Ozone use....

    I wouldn't see a problem with this if all the ozone does get sucked into the skimmer. I used to run an ASM G1. I loved it. It was very simple and got great results.

    Ozone use....

    I run an EV-240 skimmer powered by a mag 18. I inject ozone directly into the mixing chamber through a John Guest fitting. Simple and no loss of air being supplied to the skimmer. I ran a venturi skimmer before and when injecting ozone in the skimmer I felt I was losing performance.
