Display "fuge" show off thread!

[Sharir]

Hey guys, I am in the process of setting up my new 30 gallon large nano softy tank. I am considering putting a display fuge next to it as a "complimentary piece" to strengthen the impact of my reef. I have been scowering the internet for days now for some ideas and no one seems to have any information on how to start a display refugium. I would like to see some of the communities best ideas for a display fuge... My goal it to create a fuge that will rival a freshwater planted display.

Great idea, there are a few around, mine is functional, I have tangs and a fox face so most macros I have tried end up as food!
It is just like starting another tank but with macros instead of corals.
I have a sump refugium as well.
Good luck. :)

I was going to change over my frag tank to a fuge since it likes to grow algae anyway lol

Not my display fuge but I thought it was a good idea of what a display fuge would look like. I would like to see if anyone has some good inspirational pics for a display.

How old is your tank it looks very mature and Clean. ;Snaphappy
Great job @Brokereefer603 it shows that you are very maticulous and certainly care about the animals that are in your care

 

[Sharir]

If anyone has any other types of critters except for macro algea in their display fuge such as xenia please post a pic or two:p

 

[Sharir]

Does anyone use their fuges to house special fish or critters such as frogfish, leaf fish or even a mantis shrimp.?
