Hello All,

Wanted to share my DIY Algae Reactor / Refugium. The idea about this Reactor was to build it so it could be built into my Sump with a view out my front panel. It's also mobile so it can be taken out if need be. I also wanted a fuge idea that would keep my Sump clean and be as big as possible. Most of all I wanted it to match my setup.

Hope you guys like and get some ideas from this...

Here is where I got the parts....

5 Gallon ATO Container - ReefCreators on eBay
Led Lights - Santa Monica Filtration
Plumping Parts & MJ1200 Pump - Bulk Reef Supply
