Please becareful of the bank of power connections below, if hangon refugium overflow or water drip on it, very bad situation can happen.

Noted. Thanks:)

Got it from polyart. Its actually a breeder box. Just made some diy to make it refugium

Do you need to cover the refugium transparent box with black tape or is the light leaking out okay for chaeto growth

[zander]

Nice. How do you pump water into it?

What a great little add on. So simple. You could even run it against the side of a sump if you didn't have room.

I like what@blueonblue suggested. You could paint the outside to avoid light spill depending on your needs and aesthetics.

Do you have any baffle inplace to avoid little parts of the macroalgea escaping into the main display?

i think light not enough, or no nutrient, also need some flow, if flow too slow no nutrient transport to cheato. u notice it turning white?

what u can do is get a small isolation box (those for fish) hangon type, u can put cheato inside and submerge under water and using same light, if ur cheato is ok means your original setup something wrong with flow, if using isolation box still die den probably no nutrient in water or light is no good..just my 2 cents, just take note some cheato might escape this way during this test.

The Refugium gets flow from the return?

The Refugium gets flow from the return?

its breeder box type refugium, works by connecting a airpump to it, airpump will draw the water into fuge as it travel upwards, any excess water will overflow back to the maintank. Not too sure about its nutrient export ability but i know its great for breeding aphipods and copepods for nanotank/IOS tank

What other nutrition exporters you have

[BlueOnBlue]

u could buy submergeble refugium light and put it in the water under the chaeto. Another light above the refugium will maximize chaeto growth. Also try the 12hr cycle. From morning to night, on ur reef tank lights and refugium light should be off. At night, on ur refugium light and off ur reef tank light. Algae will use up co2 in tank maintaining ur ph. Also put in copepods as they eat excess food and bacteria from the water that flows into ur refugium.

Nice DIY refugium set up.

Hi guys, just a question to anyone using this kind of fuge, how do u keep the chaeto moving in the small area? Mine is just stagnant and now got other algae growing on top of my chaeto. Like forming a layer of different algae on surface.
