Hello all, We have just added saltwater to our 225 gallon display tank. This tank is an older acrylic tank that we purchased from craigslist and I refinished the viewing panels. (that was a project and 1/2). :nuts: The sump is a trigger sump 40 gallons that I got directly from trigger in...

So in the near future I'll be setting up a 120g reef tank (upgrading from my 55g tank). I want a fuge for chaeto and pods, maybe some other macros down the line, and from the research I've done, I'd like to have it drain into my display to keep the highest amount of pods alive, plus, I like my...

Thank you for welcoming me to TFT!! This will be my first post in which I hope I wont be wasting anyone's time. I plan on using a 120g aquarium with dual overflows as my DT, and a 40g tank underneath for my sump/fuge. I've read up on the baffles for bubbles and what not, but came up with some...

Ok, well I am debating whether I should run GFO or build a ten gallon refugium beside my sump, its a 75 gallon tank. I have an algae problem and have been doing water changes but it isnt going away as fast as id like so I'd like to help it out a bit by either adding a refugium or a gfo reactor...

I want to add a refugium to my existing sump. My sump has a built in protein skimmer and I dont want to have to pay to buy everything separate and I have room to add a refugium under my 75 gallon tank. I just dont know how to work the plumbing, if someone could offer some help it would be...

Im planning my winter project of my 150 gallon tall build. I currently have a 55 mixed reef with a 30 gallon sump. Equipment includes an ASM g3 skimmer, uv sterilizer, and a 6 bulb t5 fixture with a built in timer and moon lights. Thats just the basics. I have another 55 that was given to me...

I have a HOB fuge. No sump. 75gal tank. I need to drill it so when the power goes out I can prevent the water from draining beck into the tank. It is a CPR aquafuge 2. The pipe that feeds it is very far (6 in.) into the fuge (to prevent high flow). It comes out and is attached to 2 90...

I am selling my HOB refugium on eBay: eBay Item # 271540348073 (Go to eBay and search for 271540348073) . Currently at $40 plus $10 shipping. I used it for 3 months with my 15g nano tank, and it made a huge difference on water quality and coral health. I have switched to a drilled tank. PS. If...

... post up a picture of your refugium. Let's see those pics.... GO!! :beer:

So I have a 20L refugium i just finished building and trying to decide to go bare bottom or a sand bed. my DT has a 3inch sand bed and about 100Lbs of live rock. any body have any opinions?

I have a 95g Wave tank, and it came with a pro-clear aquatics pro 75 wet/dry filter, and it's missing both the skimmer pump, and return pump. I'm wondering what I should do to get this tank up, and going. It currently has about an inch or two of water in with black hawaiian live sand in it.

Anyone have any experience using a Finnex HOB refugium or Marina breeder box as a refugium? I have a 75 gallon tank with a TOM's RP3 filter and was thinking about adding a hob fuge. The CPR ones look good but way overpriced. These others have a capacity of about a 1/2 gallon which I know...

Ok, I know that what I have will sustain for now but I eventually want to start introducing some SPS and softies into my tank. Its a FOWLR for now, and I have no problems with patience and making sure everything is right before I add things. See my other thread for tank set up please. I...

So after quite a few gradual nitrate swings ive decided to finally add a fuge. Not to mention lack of surface skimming hasnt been good. I bough. 20 gallon Probally too small for my tank size but will get the ball rolling...chaeto ball that is. Im starting with a design i found online using a 2...

I am building a sump for a 29 gallon, with a small fuge built in to aid in copepod reproduction. It will not be a big sum, just enough for a big skimmer and a ~10 gallon fuge. Should I use Miracle mud, or just Bare bottom. I have heard mixed opinions on both, but I want to see what people here...

Fellow reefers, I am planning to build a new sump/fuge from a 29 gal I have sitting around fir a eurobraced 75gal reef.Posted is a sketch of my design. I think I have my bases covered, if any suggestions let me know. I am also considering bare bottom as well. Not sure yet.

I am in the process of reading the "Current Discussion: Refugiums" thread... http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f6/current-discussion-refugiums-164943-6.html?highlight=Refugium And have a question. There are many references to removing detritus from the fuge. What detritus would this be...
