Nano Cube owners I need fuge mod pics for 2nd chamber

Nano tank owners I need your assistance with the fuge mod for the 2nd chamber in my BC29 ASAP. I plan on removing my skimmer today and making a fuge. Any pics and advice would be most welcome.

I currently have the BC29 Sapphire skimmer running in the 2nd chamber. What are the advantages/disadvantages of having a refugium versus the skimmer? Should I just keep the skimmer? I'm asking all these questions cause I have been battling some Hair Algae in the display area and think a fuge may take care of this issue. Do any of you have the drip tray placed back on top of the 2nd chamber with some floss to help polish the water? What type of critters do you have in your 2nd chamber fuge. Do you have L/S or miracle mud as the 1st layer of the fuge followed by L/R and chaeto?

 

Anyone?

 

Sorry but my sump/refugium is separate... I have a 12 gal nanocube dx with a 10 gallon sump. Everything is in the sump under the stand....

 

Do you have to get rid of the skimmer?
Ideally you should keep it and add the fuge.

 

Can you show me pics of how your fuge is setup under your tank? What type of hose and pumps do I need?? I already have the stock BC29 pump I could use since that is a spair part. I can use a 6 gallon Eclipse tank for a fuge in my cabinet under the tank.

 

I use a mini jet as a return pump because I don't have far to pump up.... Air driven skimmer is set up under in the sump 2. Used a rubbermaid container due to limited space... Sorry for the small pic. Check out my pics....click on the camera...

 

What type of equipment do I need as far as valves, overflows etc? I plan on using just some flexible hosing for the inlet and return from the fuge.
