Refugium ideas

[aaltayeh]

Hello, I’m looking for ideas on how you set up a refugium for the water box 100.3. I have limited space due to skimmer and media reactor. Has anyone used the CPR in sump refugium? Dimensions are 7.25” L x 4” W x 7.125” H
Would this size be enough for the 100.3.
Appreciate your feedback

Going to depend on your goals of course. Are you looking to have safe spot to grow pods and provide some algae to feed your herbivores? Then sure. If you're looking to supplement nutrient mgmt, going to depend - managing all the nutrients with a normal fish load (food load) for a 100 gallon tank, I would think it'd be a stretch. For supplemental again...sure. If for nutrient control only you can increase the effectiveness with macro algae reactors or ATS (GHA) in that same space or at least for the pump (you'll still get pods, too).

I’m looking to have about 15 fish in the aquarium, and the refugium along with skimmer, media reactor would be able to help control the bioload. The more I am researching, the more I am interested in the Tunze macro algae reactor 3181.
would this be able to house the copepods?
