refugium

For fun I've been messing around with adding an overflow box to a water box 25 gallon peninsula in order to have a sump in the stand. In doing so I found been using a nano refugium I can fit and automatic fleece roller a full size protein skimmer, an algae reactor, as well as media reactors...

...have a refugium or a skimmer? All other things being equal, in an SPS dominated 60-70 gallon cube system, if you only had room for one, would you prefer a skimmer or a fuge, and why?

So a little background the tank is about half a year old now. I have higher than desirable nutrients Nitrate is at 19.5 and phosphate is at .07-.17 (Hanna issues) I have a refugium going below the tank in my sump i do weekly water changes of about 35 gallons. (the tank is a 90-gallon display and...

Hello! I’m super excited to show off my 108 gallon fiji cube tank as it grows! It has been up and running for roughly 6 months now and currently houses 2 clowns (1 black ice and 1 regular ocellaris) from my LFS, tons of live rock (not sure on the exact number of lbs. I ended up actually using...

So usually I never really pay close attention to anything in my refugium, all i do is get rid of some seagrape and Chaeto that have grown to an extent where it blocks off the top view of the refugium. This time after resetting up my dosing pump, i realized this weird creature hanging on the side...

Question regarding plumbing a display refugium. So basically I have a 135g running off of two canister filters and no sump. I am going to plumb a 35g display refugium into the system. My plan was to run a 1inch siphon tube between them and an in-line pump from the 35 into the 135. So in theory...

Works great. Grow chaeto like crazy. 175 + shipping

Hello, I'm new to having a sump in my tank and was wondering if its possible to use my old AI prime 16hd as a refugium light to grow chaeto? If so what leds would you have on to grow chaeto? If this would'nt work what are suggested lights to use? My tank is a 70G tank and lightly stocked on...

Can anyone ID this thing? I was FaceTiming my husband and propped the camera up and realized it picks up such the tiniest little critters compared to what I can see! Thousands of copepods, amphipods, bristle worms, ect in my Refugium. I’m so mesmerized haha!!! Pic of Refugium for reference of size.

Hey all, I am in the process of setting up a reef tank. It is a 135g with two fx4 canister filters. I understand the issues presented with canister filters, but I had them from a freshwater set up and wanted to use them. I understand a sump is preferred however I’m going to use these filters. My...

I got the AI refugium blade which my lfs told me was a good grower this was about 3 weeks ago. My first 2 "golf ball" sizes died. So then I got 3 and this is them right now.this is me after clumping it back together which is now pretty small. Now I have read everywhere saying it might be low...

Hello guys, I am removing my refugium for now as my Chaeto and sump in general are covered in GHA. My nutrients are ok, but I don’t want GHA being the one to keep it under control. I got reefmat to make sure nutrients stay in check, my question is how can I have most of the pods from the Fuge...

I got this custom DIY sump kit it’s super well made, but came with no instructions. Just checking if it’s laid out correctly.

Hi all, Not sure what forum's best for this query. I acquired some macroalgae (chaeto and culpera) from a fellow reefer. They have BJD in their tank... so I've decided to quarantine the macroalgae before adding it to my DT refugium. I get it's best to use sterile macro for refugiums but...

Hi reefers, I’m using my old Red Sea reefer170 as my first frag system. It will be a bare bottom system with racks, maybe some rock under the rack. I do plan to keep 3-4 utility fishes and some invertebrates. The sump is rather small. Wondering if I should run skimmer or use the skimmer chamber...
