I'm going to set up a 125g mostly for fish, but will also have LPS's, leathers, mushrooms etc, but no SPS's for this tank.
I have a new 55g glass tank for the sump with a refugium.
I've been researching the types of refugium that are either bare bottom and use mainly cheato for sucking up nutrients and to feed fish to "Miracle Mud" or sand bottom with
a variety of macro algae's.
I guess first of all, I don't see myself having a bare bottom with the cheato just floating around, as a refugium,....BORING !
So, those of you that are very successful with planted refugium's, please explain your system.
Please,....add photo's and video's ?
Describe in full details !
1- Why did you want one ?
2-DIY custom or did you buy a manufactured system and from where ?
3-How you created one ?
4-What size display tank do you have ?
5- All in one sump/refugium or separate systems ?
6- Size of sump ?
7- Size of refugium, the other stages and baffles ?
8- How old is yours ?
9-What plants ?
10- What critters are in yours ?
10- Did you use mud, sand or other and why ?
11- How your plumbing works ?
12- What for lighting ?
13- Flow of your pump ?
Your success's and not so successful attempt's.
Your do's and dont's.
Products you like, don't like and why ?
And, what will you do next time ?
Regards,
Kevin
