refugium

Accompanied by the old couple that lives blissfully in their retirement home.

Kessil H80 with Goose neck/mount and controller $130 SHIPPED Brand new, was going to use it but decided to go a different route.

I have a floodlight on my refugium below my tank that runs pretty hot. I recently installed a computer fan down there to help out but I was thinking of using those insulation foam sheets to put along the bottom glass to provide a bit of an extra barrier from the heat. My stand is one of those...

Fall is pod season. Hand bottled the same day it ships. Every bottle we send out is hand bottled the same day it ships, and right now our cultures are running at the highest density we have ever had. Fall is the best time of year to seed pods. Cool temps make for perfect shipping weather, and...

What would you say is the best species of algae for growing in a sump to uptake nitrates and phosphates in your water (aside from Chaeto) I have both grape caulerpa and dragons breath in my refugium and the caulerpa grows super fast but is kind of a hassle to remove. The dragons breath grows a...

Every bottle we send out is hand bottled the same day it ships. That is the whole reason we built the subscription the way we did. Copepods are not a one time purchase. They are a population your tank eats through, and the systems that stay stocked are the ones getting a fresh bottle on a...

Building Out My Juwel Lido 200 Reef System (Triton Method, Custom Plumbing, & T5 Hybrid Layout) Hey everyone, I wanted to start a build thread documenting the progress of my Juwel Lido 200 reef setup. I’m taking my time piece-by-piece to make sure the plumbing, filtration, and aesthetics align...

I've played around with the idea of getting a algae scrubber for my tank since they have become more affordable and common in the hobby, but I already have decent sized refugium that has been set up and established for about a year or so growing dragons breath and grape caulerpa. My biggest...

Hi All! Been reefing for couple months now so definitely a newbie. Always loved upgrading and tinkering around my tank. I am currently running a Waterbox 35G AIO with a Red Sea Nano Mat and Bubble Magus QQ2 skimmer. Currently stocked with 70% LPS and 30%Softies. Recently I thought of adding 2...

I clean my refugium every week to every other week as far as harvesting goes. Sometimes I will pull out a full gallon and a half bucket of algae at a time, and that's only from trimming half of it. On average how much algae do you pull out from your refugium when you clean it?

I had this tank running for years, back in the late 2010s. Sat for about 7 years, and now it’s back! Like a zombie. Took a crack at creating my own stand cause the Coralife one is cheesy imo. Coralife 32g Biocube (Tank started 6/28/26) Lighting VipraSpectra v165 10 White LEDs swapped Power...

Looking for thoughts, ideas, recommendations.... 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 have a Kessil H160 with gooseneck that I’m not going to be using. Asking $125 Open to shipping.

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...

Used for eight months works fine. Square clamp type. Refugium stole too many nutrients so I broke it down.

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...
