It had the vinyl on it but I initially had a hanging T5 fixture and recently switched. Now I'll have to put it back on.
They are awesome.was it a special order?

nope, but if you have a 450, i'd recommend the 10" arms over the 12" i ended up cutting mine

Finally got my ATO converted to a refugium.

Step 1: Cut a hole in the box

That step took about 3 weeks....

Step 2: Build the refugium

That took all of about 1hr.

I did. Very little in the way of navigation on that site. Kind of why I assumed it was a special order.

How does it work with one hole? I'm in the process of gathering tools to convert mine into a refugium also. I thought you needed two holes a feed and a return. What kind of light are you using as well? It all most looks like a led work lamp.

Using a small pump and silicone tubing to bring water in.
It's this lamp, only measured 100par @6in, but 88%PUR.

What size bulk head did you use? Did you use a strainer? I'm putting together a cart as we speak. Thanks for posting the light you are using I will probably get the same. Nice and sleek.

I did a 3/4" bulkhead with a strainer. I'd probably go with 1" if I did it again though. The 3/4 seems to be just enough for the 160gph pump.

I did a 3/4" bulkhead with a strainer.

My cart has everything 3/4 but that was because I was going to use 3/4 silicone hose I have after the bulk head. How do you like the flow of your pump? I have a mj1200. I don't know if to use the reactors output water to feed the refugium. I don't want to have too many pumps on my small sump. At the moment I'm not using my reactor anyway.

It's enough flow for now to keep the chaeto spinning. I'm probably going to redo the return plumbing at some point to move my reactor and add another outlet for the refugium

Hopefully we can get some feee back on this for sure.
I just have this horrible feeling that's going to happen to me and I can just see the spots it will happen. Scary
