    Hello everyone! Just finished glued refugium (project under$100) and have some questions for experts. This I want to set up before existing sump.
    1st chamber planning use for algae scraper 2nd for proteinscimmer (do I need one here?) 3rd for plants and 4th for chaeto. So I'm interesting what kind of grass or plant put there and benefits of it. Tnx for looking.
    Size is 12x12x30 main tank 150gal

    Very nice work.

    If you are using an algae scrubber then the rest of the sections might be redundant as once it is established it will tend to clean the water running through the refuge too well for the rest to function. I would keep a skimmer in a separate sump.
