Just set up my new Waterbox Cube 20 last night, got a killer deal on it and super pumped about it. Looking for ideas to stock for corals and fish. I have another Nano I’ll probably move some mushrooms, hammer and some zoas from.

Big coral haul yesterday, got everything in, multiple acans, torch, Goni, nem has been in from old tank, zoas came in from old tank, polyps, Xenia, a couple candy canes and some others. Tanks settled good with the mix of live rock and life rock. Will put some more pics up later with everything in there.

Looking to set up a refugium in a chamber in my Waterbox cube 20 and would like some pointers or advice on how others have done it, thanks in advance!

I love it. You're just going for it. Can't wait to see how it all plays out!

Keep me posted
Initially I added some chaeto from Algaebarn into the second chamber with nothing else. I don't recommend it, I lost half of my chaeto being sucked into the third chamber. For lighting I had a waterproof plant light that I rested across the sump, which didn't really do much in terms of growth.

I purchased the inTank second chamber media basket and removed the top divider (will be removing the second one once the chaeto grows out). For light I'm using the Tunze Eco Chic 8831 and I am pretty happy with the setup. Depending on the amount of chaeto that makes it into the third chamber I might add a coarse sponge filter at the bottom.

I also purchased the filtration cover which was what I was attaching the light to but my gravity ATO didn't allow it to sit flush. So for now until I get an ATO I have the light laid across the back and its actually not too noticeable.

In the first chamber I have inTank's media basket with live rock in the first chamber and chemi-pure blue in the second.
