bucky1168 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Just wanting to know what everybody is putting in their refugium? I am going to make a sump and was just checking on what to use for the filtration in the refugium. I have read people using live rock, live sand, plants???

andy Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Live rock rubble and a Phosban reactor here. I'd like to add Chaeto, but I don't want to remove the Phosban. Decisions, decisions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I use Miracle mud by ecosystems, and rubble rock as well as a few macro algaes. I keep it lit 24/7 good for the plants and stablies my pH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCR Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 That's a hard call. I have used a DSB, in the fuge, with some algaes. It worked well. The new system will have a DSB, with raised rubble LR. no algae. Your question has so many answers. Hou about some info from you. It would help F/O Fowler, Reef, size, lighting etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucky1168 Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 What I have right now is a 46 gal bowfront. It is a FOWLR with 2 percula clowns, 2 yellow tail damsels, and 1 yellow watchman goby. As far as inverts, about 15 hermit crabs, 15 turbo snails, 5 nassarious snails, 1 cleaner shrimp, and 1 pistol shrimp. There is about 80 lbs of live sand and about 43 lbs of live rock. As far as filtration, I am using a Fluval 305 canister filter. On the opposite side of the filter return, I am using a Maxi Jet 900. Lighting is a Coralife lunar aqualight which has 1 96 watt10000k power compact and 1 96 watt 03 Actinic power compact. I am using a HOB skimmer. What I am wanting to do is move up to a 70-75 gal tank. When I do that, I am wanting to use a refugium. I am just trying to get ideas so when I set this up, I know what to do from the get go.
