    Spent about all my childhood summers as slave labor in the old family farm.

    No worries...I like your train of thought. I was thinking of a 20 or a 30 myself.

    Tangster, if the actual refurium was 10 gallons, that is to say the area where the saltwater marsh was, if the 20 gallon long tank was divided down to a 10 gallon refugium area, then would it matter how big the actual tank was? Plus you'd get the extra water capacity of the bigger tank. More water is better, right? Wouldn't it be like having the same 50 acre farm, but letting the cows crap there more? I like the farm analogy, by the way...reminds me a baling hay in Wisconsin. Those were fun vacation days...NOT
