Hi bro can share what light u use on the refugium tank

[newmarine]

bro, how did you connect your refugium to the main sump?

[chercm]

i used eheim compact 600 to pump water in and i drill a hole in the arcylic tank and i lift the tank up so that the gravity will pull the water down .

it is to prevent overflow of my refugium

[newmarine]

wow cool... what did u use to drill the hole? Did you use a valve to connect the refg out to the sump?

[jervismun]

This shows that when one's determined... one can do anything... I think it's time I embark on some DIY projects too Keep it up bro!

[chercm]

bro i just use a normal home drill . i just drill slowly and i use the valve for the incoming water that's all

Hi chercm!

Tell me about your chaeto. How well does it keep phosphates and nitrates in check? I want to install one for my future 90g sps cube. How do you maintain it? Lighting? Flow?

Cheers

Let me share my experiences with Chaetos... you can't really rely fully on Chaeto and do without your PO4 removal media... unless you have a very large refugium filled with Chaeto... a typical example would be a 5ft main tank having a 3ft refugium... since you have not constructed the tank... perhaps you can plan ahead

i have already contacted Steve on the refugium tank . this plastic tank is more for testing purposes before i go for up size
