hi guys-
I have just started up a 37 gal. salt water aquarium, and wanted to know if a refugium is really needed if you want macro algae and are willing to put it in the display. if you have macro algae in the dislpay tank instead of a fuge, wouldn't they have the same effect as in a refugium? the would still absorb all your nitrates/phosphates, right? thanks.
