Hi,
I would like to know your opinion on this. I have a display tank and I am planning on adding a refugium to keep up with my display. I am thinking about either a hang on the back refugium. Or a second tank 20g that I have right next to my display (both are at the same water level) and I could turn it in a refugium very easily. This "refugium" tank has been running for some time, but it is mostly uninhabitated but well cycled. It already has kind of two chambres. The first section would have cheato and manual filter in it. The second section would house my protein skimmer, ATO and heater. The hang on the back refugium would be easier to install but I would lose up on manual filtration and place to put my heater and skimmer. Is it worth it and even possible to "add" this second tank. Or is it OK to just have cheato in the hang on the back refugium.
My display is a 40g tank with 2x AI Primes HD I spot feed my corals once a week and broadcast feed them also once a week. I have three fish clownfish, damsel and a sifting goby.
I mainly want the refugium as a nutrient export and to add some diversity like pods.
What do you think?
Thanks for any opinions or advice.
