    Hey All,


    Just wanted to stop by and say hello.

    2 months ago I set up a 75G salt, 3 1/2 weeks ago I finished my 20g refugium/sump combo using wal-mart clay kitty litter. I started with a small sandwhich bag of chaeto in the fudge and it's almost tripled in size. I've also seen a very steady decrease in N02 from .4 down to below .05 almost to 0.

    I'm using a overflow from aquatraders with a small dosing pump to pull the air out. Even though it's not really needed, i've pulled the plug many many times and everytime starts right back up even without the pump.

    Right now i'm just using a standard strip light but today or tomorrow my upgraded lights should be coming in. Only thing left on my list to buy is a skimmer but the lights tapped me out for this week. ;D

    I'll post back with some pictures soon

    Thanks :)

    This site was the reason I built my refugium instead of buying it. I'm glad I did because I spent well under $100 for something that I see gets alot of money normally.
