I am in the process of building a sump/fuge and am wondering what the lighting requirements are for growing things in the fuge? Would a small LED...
Sweet! Looks like I'll be going to lowe's!
Will they cut these too?
Where can I get glass like that? Hardware store? Cut to size?
Another quick question. I found that the perfect size to use for the baffles happens to be the glass I can pull out of 8x10 picture frames. Would...
Thanks guys--it sounds like 1.5 is the way to go.
I'm in the early stages of making a 10 gallon sump for my 30 gallon DT. I am going to use a 3 plate baffle after my skimmer and am wondering how far...
How about this idea--I'll most likely be dealing with limited space with a 10g sump and making three sections out of it. If I upgrade my skimmer down...
Will the fuge side produce bubbles? I plan on baffling the skimmer side, but will the fuge side give me bubble problems?
If the fuge is in the middle wouldn't the water flow be too strong? I thought refugiums didn't need very much water flow, that's why I was thinking...
That sounds like a good idea--I only have a 30 gallon, so I was hoping I could use a 10 gallon sump and put a fuge on one end. It makes more sense...
What do you think of this? ADHI Refugium 20 Refugium Sump by Aquatic Design Habitats - AquaCave If I use an Eheim 1250 pump as the return is the...
Thanks guys! It looks like I will be going with the Eheim 1250--more pricey, but as the old saying goes,"Those who buy cheap, buy twice!"
I have a 30 gallon so I don't need a ton of power, but I notice the Eheim's go from 160gph to 320gph. Would the 160gh be enough? That would be just...
I am in the process of designing a sump and am looking at submersible return pumps. The mag drive I had a few years ago ran way too hot and...
Would it then be possible to add a HOT refuge to the 10 gallon sump? Obviously I would need to watch water levels.
It shouldn't flood the tank, as mentioned, if you leave enough room in the sump to handle backflow water from the DT when the power goes out. IME...
Not a bad idea--thanks! I'm thinking of doing this sump at the bare minimum; I suppose I could always do a HOB fuge if I wanted later on.
What would cause that? Could I slow down the bubbles with a sponge?
In a few months I want to throw a 10 gallon tank under my 30G DT. My idea was to use an overflow box to get the water to the sump where I will have...
