Would like to add a refugium to a 30G AIO tank.
I don't have the room to retrofit a back chamber, so was thinking of making a DIY sump/refugium. I've got a 20inch tall glass vase that would fit perfect under my display cabinet. Would be very...

I've had my tank up for a couple weeks now and I think I have stumbled upon a red-rustlike diatom bloom. I am only asking about this because I set up my refugium last week (kit from algaebarn) and dosed the PNS bacterioplankton that came with the kit. The issue is, I am not sure this was the...
Hello Everyone,
I am looking to get rid of this system for $1,750. I live in the Knoxville, TN area and this would have to be picked up. Please let me know if you are interested! Thanks!
I had to breakdown my reef due to a tank leak. I will be back, but for now am selling my sump. Attached are some photos of it currently and when in operation (First Installed). I also included a tank photo just to show what this system was supporting. Feel free to look at my tank thread for any...

Hey folks!
I have built a diy HOB fuge for my undrilled 55 gallon reef.
Got one of these for free and converted it by wrapping it in strip lights, and putting a diy air lift pump by heat forming some .5 inch tubing, and poking a hole with a airline tubing barb.
Works easy enough and the...
I am planning to have quite a large refugium of around 10-15 gallon and was wondering what interesting inverts I could put in there that wont disrupt the copepods and other microfauna that the refugium is made for. There will be a lot of invert eaters in the display tank so it would be really...
I’m redoing the baffles in my refugium, but I don’t want to drain and dry the whole thing to silicone in the new baffles. It’s kind of the heart of my whole system. I’m wondering if there are any products out there that use a magnet on the can simply hold the baffles in place, also so I can take...
I am looking for some advice regarding my beginner 20 gallon saltwater setup. I currently only have fish (2 clownfish), snails, and crabs and plan on keeping it that way for a while. I don't have a sump, just a HOB filter. I am wondering if I could use the linked Fluval breeding box as a...
Good afternoon! I have a 125g display with a 100g basement sump (stock tank). I want to add a large refugium as a source of pods, nutrient export, and pH buffer. I picked up a rimless 50g tank that I want to set up as a combination macro algae display and fuge. The lighting cycle would be...
Hello, so I had been running chaeto in my water box reef lx 290.6
nutrients were 55 nitrate and phosphate .05
Increased light period from 8 hrs to 14 hrs a day. (while also doing water changes to get nutrients under control)
Currently my nitrate is 20 and phosphate is .1
My refugium is...
Hi everyone,
I’ve ordered a Nyos Opus G2 300 (approx. 261 L display / ~310 L total system) and while I’m waiting for delivery, I’m trying to plan the filtration layout in advance.
I’d like to run a refugium (chaeto + pods) as part of a nutrient-export strategy, but the stock Nyos sump layout...
I’m setting up a new to me eshoppes AF-200 sump, it has a refugium chamber and I’m wondering. If I can run my media reactor and/or UV from that section. Does it get enough water turnover for this to make sense?
Right now I’m not planning to setup a refugium so I’d like to make use of this...

Howdy y'all! I've been picking away at this project for about a year now. Its had its ups and downs, and I wanted to share my progress on keeping jellyfish since I think things have finally stabilized.
The motivation:
Commercially avaliable jellyfish tanks are not for ma. They usually are...
First, a peak at the result.
After about 30 hours over 2.5 days, that is the finished product. Now the process.
I have a 350 gal, two tank, shared sump system in the living room next door.
But there isn't enough room in the cabinet or the living room for all the equipment, let alone a...
I have struggled with keeping a small Macroalgae refugium in my 80g AIO. I initially kept a small refugium in the rear sump area, with poor results. I even tried using a reactor to contain any muck, melting, and ensure the chaeto was getting enough flow and nutrients. This worked better but...
I have seen many examples of Fluval Evo 13.5 tanks that have had a rear chamber turned into a refugium and am considering doing the same for my aquarium. I am not so interested in bringing nutrients down as nitrates are usually <10 and phosphates generally <0.1 in my tank but am interested in...
Hello everyone, was fortunate enough to grab an ac 110 for a good price, and in my spare time I created a media basket that replaces the original mesh screens. Researching online, I wasn't able to find anything resembling a basket. The closest thing to it was this thread, but that required...
Kessell A360X Refugium Light - $230 shipped
This fixture is approximately five years old and was used at less than full intensity the entire time. The light works perfectly.
Blade Hybrid Algae Reactor 16
• Purchased a turf scrubber to deal with a heavily polluted tank with nitrates of 55ppm and heavy hair algae.
• Tank is 92g volume so I purchased the 16 version as headroom and the 10 inch might not benefit as well due to the tank being heavily stocked.
