drock59 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Just wondering if anybody has ever put a fuge on top of their tank? Im limited on space and that seems like a natural place for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nu2reef-n Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I think that's the ideal place for a 'fuge. That way all the critters can go with the flow directly into the display tank, totally unimpeded by the return pump. It's going to be a little top heavy, you might have to secure it to the wall or attach it to the side of your tand stand to stop it from swaying.

rmhuntley Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 you should look into a CPR HOB Aquafuge http://www.cpraquatic.com/products/aquafuge.html you can also check E-bay for knockoffs for much cheaper. I"m going to build one of these in the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Had a CPR aquafuge loved it so much I built a 20g gravity fed refugium. I placed it on shelves next to the tank. Quite the collection of pods in that system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 i got a 20 gal on top of one of my prop try system's it in it self is a cool thing to watch, but yes less death if its gravity fed back into your system unlike with the critters running the gauntlet through traditional in sump fuge's having to go pass pump's and skimmer.

impur Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 you should look into a CPR HOB Aquafuge http://www.cpraquatic.com/products/aquafuge.html you can also check E-bay for knockoffs for much cheaper. I"m going to build one of these in the next few weeks I was thinking of doing one of these too. I want to see if i really need a fuge first though. They seem like the best way to add a fuge to your tank without the plumbing hassel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drock59 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Would 40 gallons be too much to add to the top? How would i brace it? Roughly 320 extra pounds if full filled. Is that going to effect the strength of the display? Can the display even handle it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drock59 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Disregard...its not going on top. Too tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmhuntley Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Yeah, they look pretty awsome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hey Roy do you know if any of these would fit on a 24G Aquapod? I know Ive seen people do the AC70 on there but a Aquafuge would be cool! Time to do some research. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
