My Aquarium Showcase
This is a barely used refugium unit that was used for 2 months before I sold the tank it was on. Very easy to use and clean. I can not find the mini tube after cleaning but a baby bulkhead with tubing will work and under $2 cost. This unit was $119.
Selling for $ 65 shipped and I will not take less as it will be $20.15 to ship so im practically making Nothing off of this unit.
A refugium is just what it sounds like, a refuge. The purpose of a refugium is to create a secure place for beneficial animals that could not survive in your main aquarium. Depending on what life you add to a refugium there are several benefits that can come from your refugium.
Nutrient Removal
The most common reason for adding a refugium is as a form of filtration. Adding live rock and live sand to a refugium can serve as a bacterial filter for the aquarium. But the most efficient way to use a refugium as a filter is through algal-based filtration. Algae added to a refugium removes waste such as nitrate and phosphate by using these compounds as fertilizer. Algae can not survive in the main display because fish will eat it. However, it can survive in a refugium.
The two most popular kinds of algae for refugiums are chaeto and caulerpa
