display refugium

Hi guys, can you check over this refugium schematic? I am attempting to not use an overflow box, but am opting to use a two drain system, seperate drill holes, one with a bulkhead strainer, and one as the emergency. My DT is a IM Nuvo EXT 75, with a Trigger platinum Cube, and the Display Fuge...

After posting about my refugium over in the macroalgae forum I decided why not post up my whole build progression while I'm at it. First off, I suppose this would be considered a budget build by most standards, and/or DIY, nearly everything was repurposed from old builds during my last foray in...

Hello all! First post here on the forum, been in the shadows for a while though. Nice to meet you all! I'm stocking a display refugium and this post is to a) show off, c) request specific IDs if anyone knows them, and b) find anyone in the Southern California area willing to sell, trade, or...

After 2 years running my 75 gallon mixed reef I've upgraded. I got this beautiful tank with the stand and canopy from a LFS I painted the back with black enamel paint, I didn't paint the over flows just for ease of maintenance down the road and if I ever have to fish anyone out of the...

Hi All. I will be setting up a display refugium off of a new tank - tank will be a 220 bare bottom into a sump. The refugium (24g/18in cube) is external to the sump and will be fed by a separate pump in the last chamber of the sump. It has an overflow that will return back to the first chamber...

This will be my first reef tank after quite a long break. I think it's been 6 or 7 yrs since I had a tank. I always used old school equipment in the past, and never had much automation other than my own DIY auto topoff and some timers for pumps & lights. I decided to put a little faith in...

I'm new to R2R - only been here for a few weeks and finally getting around to posting an intro thread. I have a 5+year old mixed reef that has been through all the stages our tanks go through from the, "New tank" stage, to the, "ugly algae tank" stage to the, "kills everything but the ugly...

Decided it’s time to do a refugium. Reasons: Help control nitrates, pod population, possible other critters that I can’t use in dt like sea horses, have a nice planted aquarium with some rock. Much of what I find out on the net is for sump refugiums. I picked up a 29 gal complete aquarium kit...
