refugium

Hey guys i to am tired of water changes and was interested in trtion. Sadly i do not have enough room for a fuge tha is 20% my tank volume being that i have a 60 cube and everything must fit in the sump. Is there anyone here using the triton 7 elements for other methods? How is it going for...

I currently have a 45g rimless and I’d like to add a sump/refugium. Unfortunately the stand I have does not have the room underneath to fit a sump (it is ridiculously small). I’m trying to figure out a different way to setup a sump which will probably have to be visible but I also don’t want an...

I'm looking to add a sump & refugium to my BioCube 29 and am somewhere restricted for space in terms of footprint (17.5" × 17.5"). I looked at the Eshopps Nano Cube Refugium, but I'd like a larger return area so I can add a DC pump I'll be able to use when I eventually upgrade to a larger tank...

So I have a happy ball of chaeto in my fuge...and also some brown, hairlike algae that is growing on the side of the fuge where there is the most direct light from the grow lamp. Question is whether I should try and manage this nuisance in the fuge -- or leave it since it is not growing in the...
