Adding a Sump/Refugium to a Nano???


Anyone have any pics or ideas on how to add a Sump/Refugium to a nano tank?? I have an aquapod 24g with 70w HQI MH's, really want to know about the aquapod specifically, but any ideas can be very useful. Pics would be extremely helpful, and we all love pics anyway. Also a side note, anyone have any mod ideas for the aquapod??

I have the JBJ and there is a place in the back that has three chambers. There were bioballs and sponges back there when I got it. I pulled them out and put some live rock charcol and fine filter screen in there. I have thought about adding a seperate Refugium but have never seen it done. I did buy a sea clone and would not do it again. I get some skim off it but not as mutch as others get with different skimmers. Oh I do keep some Cheto in the back of my tank with the live rock. That probibly didn't help but you never know.

They are glass. Look at changeing the pump if you have temp issues. I added a new pump and made a double lok joint output.

Could you put the intake for the pump in the sump and then just runthe plumbing in each direction? Just make sure to put a grate over the in so you don't loose any fish.

I have a 40g sump on my 20g long nano, it is great.
