Refugium

jasdavis09 · 01/07/2007, 12:31 PM

Alright here it goes. I have a 46 gal bow front with 50 pounds of live rock, a few mushroom rocks, and a couple of fish. The tank has been up and running for almost 2 years. I have always used a fluval that the lfs sold me with the tank. Yesturday I unpluged it and put it away. I would like to ad a refugium to my tank can someone please give me an Idea where to start should I go all out and put one under the tank or will a hang on work just as well. Thank you in advance for your help

Buy some acrylic and build it yourself, that way you can make it exactly how you need it!

Just remember what a refugium is: its a place for organisms to take refuge, and go from there!
