I have my system running now for one year. Last wednesday I installed an Ecosystem refugium. The instructions says to add the caulerpa algae during second week. My question is if the introduction of the algae in the second week is for a new aquarium setup or it is the rule when installing an refugium. If you have to wait the 2 weeks everytime you install this, can you explain me what's the reason for that?
