Light placement on fuge

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if one could shine a light through the back of a fuge like the CPR HOBs. Do you think this would work or do you think the acrylic filter out too much light?

 

Thanks!

You can do eet. The problem is, you'll need to scrape algae off the inside of the aquafuge. This isn't so bad really, as microalgaes are actually better at removing DOC's than macroalgaes. Most algae scrubbers use micro instead of macro algae, growing unicellular or turf algaes on eggcrate or white plates, to be scraped off as they burn DOC's to grow.

 

You can scrape the microalgaes that are sure to grow in there off with a plastic credit card. A small snail or two might not be a bad idea either in your refugium.
