refugium

I’m posting on behalf of my friend, he’s shut down his 180g planted discus tank and wants to go FOWLR as he’s figured for all the time and money he puts in to the planted he’d rather go FOWLR.... he not ready to reef just yet. He wants to know if he would be better off with a cheato refugium...

Evening folks, I am wanting to add a refugium to my red sea reefer 350 sump but don't want to get rid of the ATO. I just added bio balls today which I want to keep as well but this leaves no room as far as I can see for a fuge. The photo below has rock but that will come out so that's not the...

I need some ideas/advice on the best place to put a refugium in my nuvo lagoon 25’s sump section. If you have done it or know how you’re going to do it let me see/know please!!

I’m really impressed and excited to share my refugium growth with the community! I added the light to my tank in the middle of July and soon after started documenting the algae growth. This is in the sump of a Waterbox Peninsula 7226. I have A LOT of fish in this tank, meaning I feed very...

I recently bought a drilled 125 and would like to build a sump/refugium under the tank. An overflow box is included that fell off the back of the tank so I cleaned all the old silicone off and plan to reattach it. Before I do, I want to get a good understanding of how the plumbing will work as...

Quick, newbie question. I have all the equipment needed for 5 seperate cultures of copepods/rotifers and for 3 cultures of phytoplankton. My question is what types of copepods do you guys recommend? I was reading about Tisbee, Tig, Psedodiaptomus, and Zoopods. Is there any significant...

Bugs in chaeto after 8 days of being set up.

I searched for hours for the largest capacity skimmer that would fit and allow me to run a larger refugium in the skimmer compartment .... The eshopps AXIUM x-120 fits next to sock area which I’m going to run the media cup instead . Thought I’d share just have to cut a little of the tab off on...

essentially I am planning a new tank and I've decided to make a external refugium for it however I cannot afford the new tank as of right now. My question is do I need to cycle the refugium if I start it now as all I would be putting in it is some cheato some media. My question is will this need...

Hello everyone, No stranger to the hobby but have been fish free for last several years. Just purchased a 185 corner and now looking for some tips as I have been out of the game for a bit. I have kept Salt, Reef, Africans, SA Cichlids, Designer Goldies. Pretty much everything. Now getting back...

Great condition radion Gen2 pro with mounting arm. Manufacturer date is Sep. 23 2013. There’s nothing wrong with the light, I just upgraded to gen 4. Kessil h80 tuna flora is about 14 months old but I’ve only used for about a month. I ordered 2 but end up only need 1 for my refugium. It’s been...

Hey guys, I’ve got the aqua top 29 gallon all in one. I want to start some sort of refugium, Is there a way to place chaeto in that small sump area, light it up,and have it stay healthy? Can it just roll around the tank? Any words of advice for more experienced saltwater keepers in greatly...

In this video I discuss growing algae with a focus on the RAIN2 Algae Turf Scrubber. In my opinion, there is no better way to keep nutrients in check, and combat algae in your display than a properly size refugium, algae reactor or algae turf scrubber.

After such a warm welcome in the welcoming section and a few questions of "show us your build" here is the start of my reefing journey. This is my 4th fish tank and 2nd marine tank. My first marine tank was running for 6 years before it was closed down due to a suspected tank leak and upcoming...

Hey everyone! I'm experimenting with an atypical build, and I figured I'd share here, too. It originally was one of those old school pico reef entries for N-R.com's recent contest, but some aspects hindered it's inclusion; however I went forward with the "experiment". I am attempting to reef...

I need phytoplankton, so going to setup refugium outside, any tips,advice?

(NEW SPS!!) My goal is to build out a Red Sea Reefer 170 with modifications to run a Mixed LPS/SPS tank on the Full Triton method. Refugium as primary nutrient export with Hybrid LED/T5 lighting. Small skimmer rather than full sized, to guard real estate for refugium. VIDEO TOUR of Sump Mods...

in the ideal world, we would love to have only Chaeto (or some prefer Caulerpa) in their fuge (sump) but in saying that, if worst come to worst, the refugium is filled with all sort of misc. algaes i.e. GHA, Caulerpa, Chaeto, Red Dragon, Bryopsis .. does it really matter? I mean as long as they...

I have converted a aqua clear 110 into a HOB refugium , my question is , I turn the grow light on when the tank light goes out, but the purple light spills into the tank a little , is that ok?? Will it cause algae growth in the DT, Or hurt any of the corals? Thanks

I have a 75g mixed reef, 80lbs of live rock , lots of softies , no sump, current filtration is a HOB 1000 octo, and a reactor for GFO or carbon depending on what I need. My only mistake , which I can't change now is not having a sump. Parameters Salinity 1.025 All 8.5 Ph 8.2 Temp 77 Mag 1360...

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...

Just finished making my own DIY sump with a standard 10g tank for my 20g tank. I have a refugium in the middle and am looking for things I could add for algae control, and just to keep the refugium cleanish. I know ill have to scrub some algae but want to do as little as possible. I have some...

So, I ventured into that wonderful world of tank upgrades. I upgraded from my 70g cadlights II tank to a Waterbox 5226 peninsula. I'll be the first to say that it was quite challenging and took me nearly all day to do it. I found myself worrying and stressing during the whole process. But...
