refugium

Hey hey! Wondering if this will work as a refugium. Middle chamber of the IM fusion nano 10 gallon.

Hi all, I just picked up the AI Prime Fuge light and love it! But is it bright! :) I’m brainstorming some ways to shield/block the light from flooding the rest of the sump: - Cinefoil? This stuff is pretty awesome - not the prettiest necessarily, but I’m leaning this way. Essentially built...

Personally I'm still fairly new to the hobby. I have a good few tanks I'm proud of. I was wondering what amount of time people light their tank for, and the same question for a refugium. Because of algae I personally only light my tanks for 6 hours, for the one tank I have with a refugium, the...

Hey, I went to a local coral shop at found a setup. 25g rimless cube with stand, and a small sump. (100$) so I bought it. the problem I’m having is the sump is more tall than wide. I don’t have room for a microbubble trap if I use a skimmer and fuge. I want to do it right, the stand can’t fit a...

Does anyone have the newer 625xxl with built in refugium? Need help and idea to set up the refugium section. Thanks!

Alright, so I went to a local coral shop and found a 25 gallon rimless cube, with stand, and sump. It was a great USED bundle. It was 100. Had to do a lot of cleaning, but it’s looking good (still have to clean the sump). Anyways, I don’t know what kind of sump this is, I’m getting the tank...

Hi, everyone! I'm looking for information on creating a refugium in the second chamber of my Fluval Evo 13.5. Has anyone done this? If so, did it make a difference in the nutrient levels in your tank? I'm worried that the refugium would be too small to make any noticeable difference. I'd...

I'm running an IM nuvo 20 and thinking of growing chaeto in one of the back chambers. I've come across two similarly-priced fuge light that are small enough to fit: -Innovative Marine ChaetoMax 2-n-1 LED -Tunze EcoChic Waterproof Refugium LED 8831 The Tunze light is submergible, which would...

Hey everyone, My biocube 16 (sps dominated) have been running for a year or more now, it has had a lot of algae issues sinces it started. It crashed not long ago but it is recovering now, im thinking of making an extra sump for it, it is a 20 gallon. Should i use the space for a skimmer or...

I have a lot of hair algae in my chamber which I use as an refugium to grow chaeto. The chaeto grows very nicely but so as hair algae. It becomes very thick in less than a week everytime I clean it. My main display has little to no algae though. Just some on the glass. I run the light for my...

So I noticed a deal for a Marineland 90g with a custom cherry stand. So there was my invitation to give the triton method a shot. I ended up going with the Eshopps R-200 3rd Gen using Algae Barns macro starter kit (chaeto, red ogo, Pom Pom, ulva) and it seems to be doing well, however the...

I am looking to create a refugium in my existing 10g sump which is a standard 10g leader for the purpose of sustaining a healthy copepod and microfauna population rather than nutrient export. I've kicked around a few ideas of how to accomplish this however I'm running into a few problems: 1.)...

I am having a some issues with the LPS corals in my tank that I believe are related to low available nutrients. Most of the coral have lost their "fluffiness" that they had when I bought them. The tank has been running with 0 available nutrient for about a month now. Alk and Ca and salinity...

So. Background first. I have been keeping aquariums for most of my life, well, I mean the first 8 or so years obviously my parents were the ones actually dealing with the upkeep, but you know what I mean. However, it has always been only freahwater aquariums. That all changed November 2018. A...

I have a Fluval EVO 13.5 gallon. My current equipment/media filtration is as follows: Stock lighting, stock return pump, and the Chamber 1 InTank Media Basket upgrade (I run Filter Floss, Chemipure elite, and PhosBan in this chamber). My 2nd chamber only has a heater, which I am willing to move...

Hi all, looking for some help & advice from my fellow reefers. I have a new RedSea Reefer 250 v3 that I’m just about to set up and I’m trying to get my head around best sump design and equipment placement. At the moment and with the equipment I already own I’m thinking doing something like...

Hello, can someone please help with my issue. I feel like im losing my mind trying to figure it out. I recently bought a new Eshopps r-100 sump for a new 80 gallon tank. LFS owner recommended me to just get the small size sump since it's all I would need. Eshopps even rates this sump for 75 to...

I'm having some difficulties maintaining macroalgae growth in my refugium on a system that has been set up for over a year. I'm using the built in refugium section of a Red Sea Reefer 350 v3 with a Zetlight E200S light set on a reverse 14 hour photo-period at 100% intensity. The chaeto has been...

Should my refugium's powerhead (pump) only be on when the refugium's lights are on or should it always be on? I figured if the lights are off, the algae is just resting, so no flow is needed? Also, how much nitrate reduction (%'s) can I expect a 5 gallon refugium (chaetomorpha) to have on a 100...

I have seen a few pre-built options through Marine Depot, but the reactors and lights are out of stock with no guarantee they will return. I have seen some close substitutes, but I’m not really sure what would work best for my tank. I’m not really obsessed with adding more water volume, but I...

Is a H350 magenta a good light for growing Chaeto? Thinking about getting one for my refugium, found one for $115. Worth the investment?

Hello, I've been out of Aquariums for 10 years, after running all sorts for 15 before hand. So I had lots of pieces and parts and someone needed their 150g gone, I gladly accepted! I have about 200lbs dry rock that sat for a week in RO flushed every other day. Roughly 120lbs of live rock...

Let me know what you have. I would need it to be shipped to Las Vegas, NV.
