CPR AquaFuge?

J. Montgomery · 08/05/2007, 06:57 PM

I'm tempted to buy a CPR AquaFuge and wanted to hear some feedback from fellow reefers using these things.

I have a 55 gallon mixed reef without a sump or refugium. I'd like to try a hang on back refugium for nutrient export and to provide pods for fish food; I have an AquaClear 500 that I'm tempted to modify, but the large CPR AquaFuge is so much bigger in size . . .

i can't remember, but does the pump sit in the tank? or in the fuge?

i've seen some in action, and they are nice, esspecially if you have them mounted so you can look in.

the only major down side i can see to it is the cost, which is more expensive than some acrylic tanks and sumps. if i had table router, i'd just make my own b/c it would be so simple since its just a small box.

I have one that I am not currently using. It works fine. To me the volume was too small to make any difference, but on a 55 it might help you.
