corner tank filtration

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to start a refugium in 54 gallon corner tank. The stand I have does not have much room the for the equipment. I am currently running a trickel filter with a protein skimmer and two pumps . 1 goes to a chiller and back into the filter . 2 goes back into the tank

 

Welcome to 3REEF. Do you have a picture of your tank so we can better help you?

 

Here are a few photos of my tank.

 

ouch, you dont have much space.. You could always place a small fuge up on a stand.. such as a rubbermaid tank and let that gravity feed into the sump.. You would have to drill it, but thats easy as it is plastic..

 

What size sump do you think I need . Can I buy a small fish tank a baffle it out or should I look to make my own out of acrylic.

 

I've never seen this done before, but you could possibly make an acrylic tank in the shape of a triangle to house all your equipment as well as a refugium.

 

I was thinking of making a L shaped refugium to fit under the tank. Intake and protein skimmer in first section . Fuge in the second chamber , pump to tank in the third.

 

Thats a really good idea, but I believe difficult to obtain.

I still think a small raised tank is the way to go in this situation..

Here is an example of what I did to make a fuge sit in my tiny little stand.

 

thats what i was going to do on my 72 bow, but i wanted to up grade anyway.

 

That looks like a great idea . Can you just explain your plumbing. Thanks for the pictures
