My First DIY 20 Long Refugium

Hello!

This is my first post on these forumns and I would like to share my first DIY 20 Long glass Refugium.

I constructed it myself to house my brand new EV-120 with 18" of Fuge and the return pump out of Lucite and DAP Silicone.
The Hood is from a 20 High tank. T

he Refugium is also Housing an Eco Aqualizer and a small power head.

The display tank as is in current progress.

Haha and yes I had messed with the Chaeto as you can see.

I just need a Metric TONNE of live rock now.

But well there it Is please leave opinions, suggestions or questions THANKS!!!!

 

Looks Great Shroomin. I like the chaeto ball. I hear ya on the LR not what I love doing (dropping a fortune on Rock )

J

 

Nice design on the fuge. Yeah I think you need a little more live rock.

Welcome to 3reef!

 

Nicely done.

 

Thank you.

My skimmer finally started skimming today.

The EV-120 CRANKS!!

 

Looks nice well thought out. As far as live rock look online for deals or perhaps in your local paper. I see people all the time giving up and selling everything for pennies. The other day I say a 150 gallon tank with lights filter rock for $400.00

 

I like the setup. I'm doing something like that although I have a euroreef skimmer and will have to make my fuge smaller to ad space to the sump for it's placement. How big is the display tank? Keep posting pix on the progress.

 

The tank is a 75 Gallon. I was also going to get a Euro Reef but I decided to go AquaC. There would still be plenty of "Fuge" space going the Euro Reef route.

 

Karma for your nice sump!
