#refugium

Hey everyone, I’m running a hang-on-back refugium on my 55-gallon, and the issue is that the glass panel of the refugium sits right against the wall. That makes it hard to mount a refugium light or do maintenance back there. The unit has a small built-in skimmer, so I’m wondering...

Decided to put some chaeto in my sump located at the back of the tank. Do any of you know any convenient lighting which can be neatly attached. I saw some magnetic which can be attached to the back. Not sure of how good they are would love your opinions 🙂 Thanks in advance guys and gals 🙂

Hi all, I have a waterbox 20 cube and I’m wanting to start a refugium in the second chamber of my tank using an intank media basket.

Hello everybody, I currently have a skimmer in the sump and just got a light to start a refuge. I have had people tell me a skimmer is not necessary and you only really need one if you do not do regular water changes. I am not a huge fan of the skimmers but have one because I thought it best...

So pretty much I love the look of caulerpa and made an external refugium and put some in, it grew 5 new “leafs” in 24 hours. Before adding it in both my nitrate and phosphate where at 4ppm now both have shot down to zero. Should I dose some nitrate and phosphate?

Hey, so I'm still pretty new to the hobby. I currently have a nano reef tank, and I'm about to set up an 80-gallon system. It will be including a sump, and I really wanted to do a refugium. I've been hearing a lot of stuff about them, including both positive and negative opinions. Can someone...
