Wow...you're water is incredibly clear! In that second photo I honestly thought the tank was empty. Looking good!

How is the refugium doing?

I actually ended up taking it out and haven't noticed a difference in the tank. Seems like it was just too small to have an impact.

thank you for confirming. Other also ended up taking them out noted that it is also too small and not seeing major benefits

sorry duplicate

That's a sweet set up for a first tank

Tank is looking great, I love your sump design... sorry the refugium didn't work out, but doesn't look like the tank is suffering at all without it

Hi Nando, how come you broke down the tank? :-(

It pains me but I've started traveling more on the weekends and am just not able to keep up with the tank the way I want unfortunately.

That's a shame man - great build. All the best!

Definitely not my experience. But I modified my 170 sump especially for fuge and used a smaller skimmer to increase volume.

Your build is awesome, especially the equipment cabinet.
