10 gallon refugium

[bryjo]

I took a 10 gallon tank and made it into my sump refugium, I used a gallon of mud, and a 120 watt grow light, It seems to be working awesome, all the calpura is growing like a weed, I need to figure out what else to put in it, I am useing a phyto plankton called Bio Plankton, liquidlifeusa.com, A really good product from what I have read about it, I dose my tank every other day, have any cool suggestions please let me know, I'm wanting to do some cool stuff with my refugium, Im still new at it, thanks alot Bryan

looks great!!

you might want to remove that cover over the refugium part. it will get saltified pretty quickly limiting the light to the caulerpa. you might need to extend the PVC pipe to limit the splashing if that is a concern. it will also help with the cooling of the aquarium a little if uncovered.
