Yup, and I am now one of them! (striving for better water quality)

Thanks for the feedback Pie and Brian... Might give the taxafolia a miss...will be too hard to 'roundup' it in the tank! So I thought growing 'plants' would be better than having algae orgies turning my water 'white' - is letting just the additional biological filter do its thing better still? I thought I had a decent size tank (90g) until finding Pie's refugium is twice as big! Who would ever want a maintenance free SW tank? Would give us no excuse to play with it! What IS the divorce rate amongst SW tankers?

Hi folks I'm a newbie trying to do things better...doesn't take long to get hooked does it? I'm looking at creating a refugium (higher than the tank) that will overflow into the tank and provide more biological filter. What are you thoughts on trying to grow things like caulerpa taxafolia or prolifera in the refugium? And if its a good idea where do we get some from to start our plantation?
