refugim

I wanted to start this discussion now because I have some ideas that I would like to bounce off some folks before I start cutting lumber. I have a 8x2x2 acrylic tank with dual overflows. I’m going to build the stand, which by itself isn’t very complicated. This is where it gets tricky. I am...

Hey everyone, I’m super excited to be upgrading from my current 50-gallon tank to a new custom project (aiming for a 200+ gallon system). The new display tank measures 180x70x50h cm (approx. 71" x 27.5" x 19.5"). I went with the 50cm height because I love the lagoon look and easy access for...

I am currently in the process of setting up a 75 gallon mixed reef with only HOB equipment, as I do not want a sump. I was wondering if it would be better for me to use a refugium or a skimmer. Realistically I would like to have both but I don't think there is enough room to hang everything on...

Thank you in advance for taking a look at this. 55 gal, 20 gal sump, 8 month old reef tank. About 8 fish and 10 corals (mostly frags). I’ve had a little success with the corals starting to creep onto the rocks :cool: . I think the tank is cycled as my nitrites are stable at zero, and I haven’t...

Hello, I’ve finished setting up my sump for my 60 gallon breeder. I set this tank up a while ago using live ocean rock but I’m just now adding a sump and fish to it. The dimensions of the tank are 48.5" x 18.5"x 18". So far, I’ve only added a pair of clownfish and some soft coral and they’re...

Hello, I have a mantis shrimp that hitchhiked onto my live ocean rock from kp aquatics. I think it’s a wennerae mantis shrimp because it’s sort of green/yellow and pretty small. I had it for a while now but now I’d like to start adding fish to my aquarium. My sump’s refugium chamber is 9.5"L x...

I have a Kessil 360 X Refugium light for sale. It is used and has about 500 hours on it. It comes with the original power brick as well as hanging bracket. Let me know if you have any questions. The A360X Refugium LED Grow Light by Kessil is an ideal addition to your aquarium. This fixture is...

Hey everyone, I was playing with the idea of building a sump/refugium in my AIO chambers for my waterbox 25 peninsula. I removed the black backing so I could see back there and I definitely think I could do it. Anyone experimented with this? Couldn’t find any pictures or videos online that...

Hello, everyone, I've been battling hair algae for a few months and am considering getting a sea hare to tackle the short-term problem. I have a Red Sea 350, and my sump is already quite full with a Reefmat, UV sterilizer, skimmer, and pump. I would like to set up a refugium with Chaeto, but I'm...

A while ago I decided to make a refugium in one of the chambers on my Fluval Evo 13.5g, so I ordered a set of chamber inserts on Etsy. I ordered this specific one because it routes the flow through the entirety of each chamber as seen in the first pic, but I feel like I’m getting scammed at this...

Selling an aquamaxx HOB-R Hang-On-Back Refugium. The largest one. Also a Tunze eco-chic 8831.00 and two little fishies algae cleaner. All brand new, never used, never touched water. Changed aquarium plans so I’m selling this. $125 for all of it.

Hey all, I’ve been working on setting up my 135 and I’m well into the process. I’m running two canister filters on the main 135 reef so I do not have a sump. I want to plumb a 15 gallon column tank into the main display, but I don’t want a HOB overflow or to drill the tank. My idea is to run a...

I’ve been looking at HOB refugiums and it has me scratching my head why are HOB power filters less expensive than a HOB fuges?! They are basically the same basic shape but that there are more components in a power filter, ergo costs to those one would think are more. The fuges I’m looking at...

Selling my AI fuge its less than 6 months old, and i have no use for it. I didnt even use it once, as my plan for a refugim didnt go through as i planned. And im upgrading to a bigger tank 200$ will ship. Comes with the AI mount attached to it as well. I also have the original box for it
