whats cheap?
I have a 250, and currently using 2 XR30 pros. Both are currently at 100% [emoji6]
what graphs are those on the iPad ?
Thanks to this awesome forum, I was able to achieve a sick looking (subjective opinion) sump. Thanks to everyone who has given their input on this forum!!
Thanks!Looking really good!
Hey guys I’m about to order a varios 2 for my Reefer 170. I’m also thinking of building a refugium while I’m at it. What do you guys recommend? Ato conversion or in sump? I had a nice cart a while back with all the stuff I needed for the ato mod but I don’t anymore and forgot what sizes and bulkheads I needed.
+1 id like to know as well.

Would of liked to have seen a feeding door in that screen top. Going to be a pita to feed. I use mine all the time and can even target feed through it.
VarioS pumps are a great choice (I use them) but the 2 might be slightly undersized. You can run it 100% and it'll probably do its job, but I'd recommend a VarioS-4 (which is what I use). I'm currently on 68% (using VDM and Apex Jr. to control it) and it's super quiet and efficient. I use a VarioS-2 at about 60% to put water through my carbon, chaeto reactor, and chiller, and I don't think I'd have the luxury of using the full range of the pump.
I decided against going for a refugium and just put an algae reactor together. More space in the sump means it's easier to maintain for me.

I'm using the Varios-2 at 50% on my 170, that's with zero manifold. A straight shot from return to tank. It's a great pump, highly recommended. If doing a manifold, recommendation for larger pump isn't a bad idea.
I did a homemade macro-alage reactor. I wish I had space for a proper fuge, the NYOS takes up alot of space.
VarioS-2 at 50%! I have My VarioS-4 at 68% now, no manifold as well. Do you find the flow to be sufficient? That's probably around 390gph before headloss vs. the recommended 530gph? I guess it couldn't hurt. I'm at about 714gph before headloss right now.
