Remote plenum, crazy or stupid?


Would adding a plenum refugium be crazy or just stupid? System set-up as follows. 29g AGA, closed loop w/ 296 gph circ with roughly 230 gph from the sump. 1"-1.5" oolictic sand on bottom just for the critters. Lots-o-poop siphoned out of the sump but plenty still gets to the fuge. I have room for another 10g fuge. I am wondering if a plenum fuge might get my nitrates to 0, like I want. I will alway run a skimmer, so much for the Juabert system. Maybe I can leave well enough alone but it sounds like fun so let give it a thought. Spanky, I already know you'll hate this idea but, some of us just might like to have "poop" in our tanks.

The more complex you make it the better chance Murphy will show up unexpectedly
