Refugium

[Whysosalty]

Hello all, I’m looking to buy a refugium/sump setup, what brand do you recommend. I like the eshopps R-100 for my 60 gallon cube. Please give me suggestions and how your setup is and why you like it. Thanks!!!

I have the R-300 and I really like it. The only complaint I have is the inlet chamber is not accessible for cleaning.

One of the bigger complaints on this sump is the acrylic thickness. Are you having any trouble with that at all?

 

[Matthew Frost]

Nope. I was originally a little worried but its fine.

I have the Trigger Crystal 30 sump. Good build quality and simple. Decent sized middle section for fuge and plenty of skimmer space. It also happens to be the biggest I can fit. It's pretty minimalistic, but there are media trays in the 2nd baffle. The sump you mentioned does seem like a good option as well and roughly the same price point.
