Our work...Your Opinion please - 3 pics

We just put the 10 gallon refugium on, it pumps from the sump and thre is a natural drain back. Used mineral mud for base.

Let me know.

Thanks!

Shelley

If the Chaeto bunched up around the drain, would it overflow? I like the exposed fuge though... I've often though about doing something like that with mine.

Nice. More live rock there would be good, not mandatory: good job. Inland Aquatics has some nice fuge residents.

Make sure that bulb's temperature is at least 6,500K. Most CF bulbs sold at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. are in the 2,000 - 3,500K range, which isn't going to grow your Chaeto. Otherwise, that looks great, although I agree with Sk8r that you should add some more live rock.
