HI All,
Looking for the best long term Nitrate solution. Currently have rather high nitrates so i have been looking at adding a Turf Scrubber, Algae Reactor or Refugium. For how easy it seems i have either settled on reworking my sump to accomdate a Fuge or to DIY my reactor into a Cheato...
I have a small ~8 gal water volume sps tank that i recently installed a controller on. I’ve been monitoring pH and noticed significant swings between day and night. I know swings are expect but the range is pretty significant - approximately 1 ph or more over the course of a day. I think it...
I have a waterbox 20 cube and I'm having some nutrient issues that weekly water changes aren't solving. I feed 1/4th of a frozen mysis cube per day and 1/4 teaspoon of reef roids per week, so the issue shouldn't be overfeeding. I do not have a skimmer, nutrient removing chemical media, or a...
I have a JBJ RL-45g AIO tank and a coral life 65g skimmer. The issue is that I will need a skimmer for my live stock and a refugium. Here’s the stocking list:
2 classic clown fish
Pistol shrimp and goby pair (Cannot decide to get a diamond watchman or the shrimp goby pair)
Conch, blue and red...
Hi all, hope someone can give me good advice cause I'm going crazy lol. I have a 75 gallon sump. I have placed the baffles you see so far the last one is an adjustable gate that I just didn't put in. So I have 1 - 14" high baffle left. I was suppose to put it after the adjustable baffle before...
Is there any cons to keeping the Refugium on all the time? pH is never too high, I over feed(working on it) and think it looks cool. Currently teeming with copepods and baby snails.

Hey everyone!! New to marine tanks and trying to understand/work out kinks. My question is about my refugium. I'm currently running a HOB I made from an Aquaclear 110. Just running chaeto with a few dosings of copepods. I noticed today that there's numerous of these clear floating things. I am...
Hi all, I want to add a 0.5 gallon Hanging Breeding box to my 10 gal to make a simple refugium for chaeto. I already have a C4 HOB filter on the back of my tank and can’t really put the breeding box elsewhere than alongside it, would it be a risk in the long run?
I have a Red Sea G2+ 200 and in the sump the RS Skimmer and Reefmat. I am wanting to put in a refugium. However, I am unsure of where to put it. What little space there is in the cabinet for a hang on is taken by the pull out controller panel to the left. Can I put it in the same chamber as the...
Selling kessil H80 refugium light with gooseneck mount. Less than 1 year of use.
Selling as I bought an algae scrubber to try and no longer need.
$100 shipped. Sold
I know these really aren't much compared to the h380s but I've really been wanting a huge light with a dimmable feature. If anyone has one that they'd be willing to sell on the cheaper side for any reason I'm interested.
Ok after struggling with high to me nitrates at 15ppm , phosphate was 0.05. I decided to try ABIT of a makeshift fuge. Unfortunately my sump only has two chambers so having it in the sump wasn't an option, my tank is 25gallon so opted with a 10litre fuge. I have a 400lph pump in the sump moving...

So I wanted to use this sump with a fuge in the center. The issue is it has clear baffles and will cause light spill. Is there Any DIY materials that is reef safe that I can stick, glue, or to darken the baffles from light to other sections
Neither have been used. The open box model has the part of the small optional media tray that hangs it on the tank broken, but it's a 1 piece clear snap. Should be an easy fix.
Asking 350 OBO for new one
325 OBO for open box
Both are 4th gen, pm me with any questions or for more photos

I got this kessil H80 with 12” gooseneck for a pretty good price and would really like to use it for a refugium.
Trouble is I have no idea where to mount it.
I believe the best place will be where the space where to bio block, but open to any other ideas.
Tank is a pro clear 150.
Any ideas...
