    Build Thread Somewhat Unique RedSea Reefer 525 G2+ Build

    After several years of hesitation I have finally decided to join the reef aquarium hobby. I blame Youtube for pulling me into this potential money pit! One night I found myself watching a video about traveling to Japan to buy high end koi fish. The koi pond videos led me to freshwater planted...

    Turquoise cluster, appears to be very small eggs? Or contaminant??

    Hello All, I just noticed this strange "cluster" of what appear to be tiny eggs in my refugium. I can't find anything about this online, so maybe it is a contaminant that somehow dropped into the open top refugium, but it is below some rocks so that seems unlikely. Thoughts? Let me know if a...

    What do copepods eat in a refugium placed after a filter roller?

    If you used an automatic filter roller preventing leftovers and fish poop to get to the refugium, would you still have a thriving pod population in the refugium? I believe the obvious answer would be no, as they’d have little to eat. But frankly, I don’t know if pods are able to eat tiny bits of...

    Seperate refugium tank above sump, below display tank?

    I'm doing research ahead of time before buying and setting up my first saltwater tank. It will be FOWLR, with the exception of possibly an anemone down the road at some point if/when I'm confident I can take care of one properly. The display tank will be in the range of 20-30 gallons and the...

    Algae scrubber for RedSea Max Nano, is this going to work ?

    Hi averyone, So i had a ball of chaeto in my main tank for few moths, but it died due, i think, to the lack of light with coral growth, so i wanted to add a little "refugium" in my Max Nano (and i had my 1st nutrient spike because of the chaeto dying, i think) so i bought a Tunze Eco Chic and...

    Hello New guy with a question on Fusion Pro 40

    Hi All. Here is my intro... First, I'm not a fan of sharks in an aquarium - my name refers to my love of the San Jose Sharks - I had season tickets when they first came into the league. I moved to Colorado over 20 years ago, and live about an hour north of Denver - Avalanche country. I'm a...

    Tiny Banggai Cardinal found in refugium.

    Digging through some old photos and found this photo from when I was doing aquarium service. This tank was a 200 gal mixed reef. Changing out filter socks one day and saw movement in the refugium. This little one was about the size of a pencil eraser. No clue how it managed to get down there but...

    Ice cube refugium

    I though i’d throw this one out there. I had a tough time building a refugium in ny waterbox 100.3 sump. I found this ice cube holder on amazon and converted it. Fits perfectly in the back. Superglued the egg crate before the lip and drilled in the drain holes. I have a tunze ecochic refugium...

    New tank/refugium - surprise slug

    I found this in my refugium. Some type of slug, but I did not put any animals in there, so it was surprising to find. I have some Troccus and Astraea snails in the main tank. Should I be concerned?

    Sump with ato AND refugium chambers

    Hello All! I am planning a reef tank (had a nano for 3 years about 10 years back) and am wondering if anyone knows of a commercially available sump that includes both an ATO and refugium chamber? On the other hand, i suppose it’s not a big deal to just have a separate ATO reservoir….but I’d...

    How do I Acclimate my Macroalgae?

    The first thing you should do is slightly open the lid of the jar that the macroalgae is in. The reason for this is to adjust the pH levels slowly. With the lid slightly open, the carbon dioxide levels and oxygen levels will become normal, and the pH will gradually rise. Next, acclimate the...

    Help me learn Sumps!

    Hi Everyone! I could use some clarification on Sumps. There’s a lot of info online, and I’ve already been steered towards resources like the BRS weeks of reefing, but I have not yet found any resources to definitively answer the gaps in my knowledge, only supporting info on related topics. I’m...

    Building Refugium Insert

    Has anyone built a refugium as an insert? I am looking to add a refugium to my tank. I have a RedSea Reefer 525XL and it already has a large Sump with a massive main chamber. I want to separate it in the middle so I can place the Protein Skimmer near the socks closer to the intake and put the...
