For it to have a noticeable effect on parameters, don't you need a significant sized fuge? I plan on building a 10g fuge, but I do not expect to see any parameter change. It is more for the pods. Please correct me if I am dead wrong.
A fuge is a great place to breed pods. And again... any nutrient export will help so while the change may not be "noticeable" with a 10g, it'll still help.
So would a 3 gallon fuge make a noticeable difference on a 20G tank? I am not really looking to breed pods too much, more for maintaining better water.

Ok, so its actually 2.5G not 3 but regardless it will help keep my ammonia and nitrates down a decent amount? I do not expect it to magically make my water perfect or allow me to forgo water changes.

Any sort of algae growing will help, it's not perfect, but it's better than a poke in the eye. I'm installing a 29 gallon under my 57 rimless this weekend with a 3" sand bed, caulerpa/ chaeto and a few pieces of rock to help starve out what little hair algae I have.
