Any recommendations on a decent HOB Refugium that isn't too big for a 45g tank?

I'm new to these, so not sure what all I need other than a grow light and the refugium.

CPR aquatics has a decent one that comes with everything in various sizes you can find them at bulk reef supply.

Best deal I was able to find.


The refugium is very well built and sturdy. I would recommend that you eventually get a new pump.
I went with a different light than what CPR offered.

^^^ Picked up a CPR medium sized fuge myself and have been happy with it. Allows me to keep Chaeto and pods in my LPS & Softy tank.

Also have to agree with going without the packaged light, I picked up a Tunze, as well as knowing I will replace the pump that comes pre-packaged with it, flow rate seems ok but adjustability and on occasion the rattle it seems to emit - leave a little to be desired.

Feel of the acrylic on the fuge is perfect though, as well as look. Good pick for a HoB IMO.
