Refugium Question

SaltSolutions1 · 08/11/2008, 10:34 AM

I have a 10 gallon refugium for my 45 gallon reef tank.

I a coralife 24" t-5 light fixture on top with about an inch of live sand from my reef tank and a pound of live rock with a handful of chaeto

A 400 rio pump pumping water from my 45 g into the 10g and a u-tube flowing water back into my 45 gallon.

what else do I put in my 10g for filtration. I do not have any dividers or drilling done on tank.

I want to put as much filtration in this thing as I can.

Someone suggestion media bags - I could use it to run some carbon......what else should I do?

Also, I am going to run my light fixture on my refugium from 11pm - 3pm when my main tank lights are not running.

Is this ok?

Main tank lights from 3pm - 11pm
Refugium lights from 11pm - 3pm next day
