Correct Refugium size 90 g BF

Forum I am poised to purchase the needed equipment for my new Oceanic 90g Bf.

I'm looking to purchase a Refugium i found on CraigsList. 11"W x 15"T x 36"L acrylic sump/refugium. It is cemented and caulked. Will work for any aquarium 90G or less. Brand new never used.


Is this a good size for the Aquarium?

Thats only a 25g, good for a 55g. Maybe look for a 40g breeder or larger. JMHO

 

It will, but I suggest getting as large of one as you can fit in the stand.

 

Agreed^^^^ a 10g can "work" get one that will work well. Bigger is better. Get the biggest you can do. 11" wide will get real cramped real quick.

 

Thanks forum appreciate the feedback we will be looking into the largest possible....

Forum:

After further reading i was wondering if it is possible to have a Sump/Refugium all in one does anyone make one or is this a custom item? Should they be two separate units?

I will be purchasing an in sump skimmer since the acquired tank is not pre-drilled. My base dimensions are 48 L x 17 W* x 25 H .

A 40g breeder or a 36Lx16wx18t would be fine. You can DIY the sump fuge with glass or acrylic baffles. Here is a pic of mine before I filled it. PS is a Boyu DG2520 with a 1400lph pump, Rio+ 1700 return pump with a 16x16 fuge. I have since removed the flex tubing and went with PVC. I put a t on the down pipe and a ball valve on the side going to the fuge to adjust the flow. Hope this helps.
