refugium

Selling my Skimz macroalgae reactor. Used it for about 6 weeks. Works perfectly, grows chaeto very well, its just overkill in my system. Sells online for about $230, offering here for $165 Paypal -- includes shipping to continental US.

I want to add some additional water volume, better filtration, and a safe place to grow some beneficial algae to my "all in one". I am running into some issues trying to figure out a good way to get the water from my tank to the 10G that will be sitting below it. The picture below shows how...

Hi All After recent problems and looking at a total restart I am thinking of upgrading to the Red Sea 650 Peninsula. I am also thinking to go full Triton method. Will the refugium in the Red Sea Peninsula sump support the Triton method, or is it too small?

I am currently running one of the TaoTronics: https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-Lights-Hydroponics-Organic-Applicable/dp/B01HPIPM70/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_img_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=0S5ZTPDSN1R17HRXJ3Y1 on my 10x12x18 (LxWxH) refugium and not having the desired results with Chaeto. In fact I...

Not sure if this will work at all, does anyone know if I could rewrite this light for a refugium, it’s called the i-Zoom Worklight, here’s the link to the amazon. [LINK] I have four of these and got them as freebies, I could do some trial and error. But my question is, is this even the...

Hello! My actual tank is quite hard to maintain due to some mistakes I did when I was starting. All life is doing good but I decided to build a new tank, a little bigger and prepared for the Triton Method. Specs: - Tank: Custom 40g tank 30 x 24 x 14 - Sump: Custom 26 x 16 x 12 - Light: 2x AI...

Hello guys, how is f going? I’m here to ask about converting one of the chambers in the back of an AIO into a Refiugum? Dose ain’t one here have one? I’m getting a Innovative Marine 30L and was thinking about doing it, but I’m not sure if it works and if it is worth it. If you guys have one...

Hey all, So I currently have a refugium that is lit by a single Kessil H80 but I am not really seeing the results I was hoping for, based on how little par it actually puts out from BRS's video, I was wondering if 2 H80's would be comparable or at least 75% comparable to an H380 or if I...

I have always run GFO and had very good success with it. Recently I have been running a very large triton style refugium with the Kessil refugium light. I have 0 detectable nitrates or phosphates with this, and I recently stopped changing my GFO. I still have 0 detectable phosphates with a...

I do not have much height (3") above my sump (10 gal glass aquarium) and I would like turn it into a refugium. I tried once before and failed. I think I had too much light and heat 2 (27w. CFL bulbs with aluminum clamp reflectors). The cheato turnrd onto a green rotting slime. I saw some LED...

I upgraded my tank back to the 10g realizing downsizing didn't accomplish much. The fish look much happier in the new tank, but I'm still left with the 5g tank. With this tank, I'm thinking of making a refugium. The tank can (kind of) fit into my kallax aquarium stand, but there is a 1/2-ish...

Trying to reduce some of my nitrates (ie hair algae growth) and would like to add some Chaeto and maybe some other beneficial types of macroalgae in my fuge. I am planning on adding a Kessil H80 light as well. Looking for someone that may be harvesting some of theirs. Gladly will pay for it...

I've been doing some reading on refugiums and their benefits and I think I may want to run a refugium for a few reasons. Mainly for microfauna populations and also the benefit of nutrient export. While reading I’ve come to find it’s not as simple as getting a bunch of macroalgae and putting it...

Hi there, I recently converted the ATO in my redsea reefer 525xl to a refugium. Chaeto is on the way so it's an empty water box at the moment. I see three problems with return on the refugium at the moment, That it will probably get clogged easily. It's noisy as h*** in an otherwise silent...

Howdy all I've been out of the reef hobby for about 10 years (high tech planted tanks have kept me busy and in touch with newer tech, I run Kessil tuna suns and vortechs). My fiancé saw a frag tank while we were getting Plants for one of my tanks and said we need one of those. Long story...

Hey guys i to am tired of water changes and was interested in trtion. Sadly i do not have enough room for a fuge tha is 20% my tank volume being that i have a 60 cube and everything must fit in the sump. Is there anyone here using the triton 7 elements for other methods? How is it going for...

I currently have a 45g rimless and I’d like to add a sump/refugium. Unfortunately the stand I have does not have the room underneath to fit a sump (it is ridiculously small). I’m trying to figure out a different way to setup a sump which will probably have to be visible but I also don’t want an...

I'm looking to add a sump & refugium to my BioCube 29 and am somewhere restricted for space in terms of footprint (17.5" × 17.5"). I looked at the Eshopps Nano Cube Refugium, but I'd like a larger return area so I can add a DC pump I'll be able to use when I eventually upgrade to a larger tank...

I have a 60 gallon aquarium with a corner overflow that falls into a 55 gallon sump. It goes through a felt filter sock and I have a protein skimmer in the large chamber. I have about 75 lbs of live rock in the display tank with a less than one inch deep sand bed.i have two suspended...

I had this 4g IM AIO that I had to tear down at work. My fuge on my DT is not too big and I thought I would set this up as a separate pod growing tank, and put some additional Chaeto, Dragon's breath and some mangroves that I bought, well just because in it. It has live sand and rock rubble...
