The Refugium is an area located outside of the main tank with tank water flowing through it in which caulerpa, a macro-algae plant, is grown and harvested.Caulerpa is renown for its abilities to purify the water by greatly reducing nitrates and phosphates. Lights are put over it for the caulerpa to grow and the refugium also acts as a refuge for filter feeders such as copepods, or ''pods'' so to speak. These are a big part of a healthy reef and the refugium provides a safe haven for them from the inhabitants of the main tank.For a highly effective system use miracle mud and mangrove pods.
