fuge

Value of a refugium What is a refugium, and does it hold any value in a reef tank or FOWLR? Do you have a refugium, have plans for a refugium, have no desire for a refugium, or have lots of questions about a refugium? What is a refugium? A refugium is a chamber (whether incorporated in a...

A while ago I decided to make a refugium in one of the chambers on my Fluval Evo 13.5g, so I ordered a set of chamber inserts on Etsy. I ordered this specific one because it routes the flow through the entirety of each chamber as seen in the first pic, but I feel like I’m getting scammed at this...

I’m currently working on getting a sump plumbed into my RS max nano. I havnt had great success finding something like this to refer to for advise so I thought I will post my progress on here. Tank is mid cycle, Iv accumulated everything needed for the sump. Now, what’s the best way to plumb it...

i have an issue with my sump. it is a 30 breader with a filter roller, and a protean skimmer. My problem is with how the roller the only place i can put a fuge down their is under the suspended roller. is that something that would work ? i also would be removing some biological blocks to fit it...

Fuge light with mount 120 shipped works great .

Ended up moving my Caulerpa prolifera to the middle section of my Fuge about a month ago. It was growing great (under 24hr red/blue light) but all of a sudden I've gotten this yellow/red slime covering everything. It grows back almost instantly and I am worried it will kill the rest of the...

So I wanted to use this sump with a fuge in the center. The issue is it has clear baffles and will cause light spill. Is there Any DIY materials that is reef safe that I can stick, glue, or to darken the baffles from light to other sections

I have a large size HOB fuge, 300gph rated pump with digital controller, new version. Got it a few months ago and only used it for 3 days, noticed a seam going on my tank and ordered a euro braced tank so cannot use this. Ready to go 160 shipped OBO Ships in original box.

Complete filtration system, over $10,000 and in excellent shape, all pumps and controllers included, includes the quad reactor plus 2 custom matching containers for ato reservoir and mixing station. This is the ultimate dream sump. Was keeping for future project but considering selling. Local...

Hi all! I have a Biocube 32 and might have jumped the gun with regard to filtration and "upgrades"... I bought the inTank Media Basket AND the inTank Fuge Basket... Well, I thought I would put my (quickly growing in the second chamber of the AIO!) ball of Chaeto in the Fuge. BUT. How will...

Was only used a couple on months. Comes with magnetic mount and power supply. Shipping is $15 to domestic 48

I’ve been running a refugium since day one but never found it made much of a difference with nutrient export. It definitely grows pods but I wonder if porous media would do the same. I’m wondering if there’s any scientific literature addressing any of the following questions: Any studies...

Hello All, So I'm looking to get a waterbox 60.2DX because the standard sump in my opinion is straight trash. I am having trouble understanding the DX sump for the 60.2 because there is an ATO reservoir in it when I could be using that real estate for a refugium for my tank. (picture below for...

Prime 16 LED Fuge Light - Black Body - Aqua Illumination Bought new Winter 2021, only used in my tank. $150 plus shipping

Any current best practices for setting up and maintaining a fuge these days? Any life that should be kept out or added specifically besides the macro algae? Happy to hear anyone’s suggestions for setting up a good fuge. Good as in good for nutrient export and good for the overall health of the...

Hello, I used to have a 45g diamond front and a 75g fowlr tank over a decade ago took plunge again and have a 55g breeder essentially, can’t drill it. down the line I will get a sump and what not but for time being are there any HoB fuge boxes that are worthwhile? I’ve seen some breeder boxes...

Hello everyone! I recently set up a tank (within the past couple months) and have been trying to determine what an ideal flow rate is for my refugium section. A little background... I have a 150 gallon display tank with a 13 gallon refugium, and about 15-18 gallons of additional water in the...

Im deciding on whether or not I want to set up a refugium. Really the decision is on how I want to set it up. I love the mandarian Goby (who doesn't) and feel like the best way to keep one is with a fuge. I had one for 2 years previously, but had to move and tear down the tank and sold him. I...

So, I’ve been at this lifestyle for over 10 years and until the past year I’ve always had HOB equipment. Now I have a 90G display picture framed in the wall with a 75G sump/fuge. Wondering what other lifers fuge looks like. My Cheato grows like weeds and the Copepods are taking over the Cheato...

Hi All, Still fiddling with what I want my filtration system to be like on my first reef tank (20g High). Right now I am running an Aquaclear 70 HOB that I modded into a refugium but I'm not wild about it. Cheato inevitably gets into the DT, I'm not really doing anything for protein skimming...

I have been tinkering with a new fuge, and I was hoping I can post some pics to see if any of you can see if there is something I might be doing wrong or something I can do better. I’m getting great growth but I’m always looking to better my reef. please be honest, I’m on my 3rd year in the...

Looks like some sort of a pod but its huge? Roughly 5mm body and a couple more with the antlers. When its swimming about its straight like a stick and then when i hit it with some flow it curls up into a c-shaped ball. One of the good guys? Can I throw it into the fuge?

Just wondering what would be a better choice: The Tunze 9001 skimmer or the InTank refugium with chaeto and a growlight. Either way, I already have the InTank media basket. I've heard mixed opinions so I'm looking for advice. Let me know!

Hey everyone, l’m wondering if anyone has ideas or any experience with building a Fuge for a 20 gal Waterbox. The back section of the waterbox has three sections, one for a filter sock, a middle which is currently empty, and a pump in the third slot. Would it be possible to make a Fuge to...
