What Sump and Refugium does

Track sump configuration, refugium gear, and macroalgae use as a nutrient-export tool.

  • Add sump-resident equipment (skimmer, return pump, reactor, refugium light, etc.): Tank > Tools > Equipment.
  • Refugium with macroalgae (chaeto, caulerpa) is a nitrate / phosphate export strategy — see the Nitrate and Phosphate hubs.
  • Light cycle for the refugium goes on the equipment record.
  • Live rock / sand bed choices: notes on the tank profile.
