Hey all,
I believe it's time for a refugium. I have been slowly trying to update equipment ($$$) as this tank has all outdated equipment. I have been adding corals, and I have read all about the benefits of a refugium, the tank has been well established for about a year. I'm wondering if I should get a hang in tank refugium or try to retrofit my sump tank and put one in the sump.
a couple key notes: Tank is a 72g bow front. The sump is old (came with the tank) - I would really like some suggestions on how to make it more productive and a better system (it has bio balls in it)
Is it possible to create a new chamber in the sump for a refugium? I have been doing some research and some say to put the input line in the refugium without a filter?
Also, how can I make my sump better, I know bio balls are outdated I just don't know what direction I should go in because it seems like no matter what, I will need to alter my sump.
I am a little lost on what I should do to move forward with a better set up for my little ocean.
