Who runs a fuge for their reef tank?
I'd like to know how many of those with reef tanks also run a fuge?

They are a must for me. I need a place to hide all that equipment.
Plus it gives you a lot more water volume which equals to a more stable environment.

Oh yea...as far as the sump goes....
I've never had any adverse water chemistry problems running the fuge. Just curious how those who don;t use a fuge do... |

I ran sumpless/fugeless for a while when I first got into the hobby...now, I won't run a tank without one. I've even have sumps for my FW tanks!!

Yes, first sump chamber that had socks now has live rock, then skimmer chamber, then fuge with rock rubble and chaeto, then return pump.

My current tank has a small DSB fuge with some live rock rubble and chaeto. I think my next build is going to have just the rock and chaeto, no sand bed at all.
