    yeah you can do that, but you dont need a fuge on such a small tank, fuges are recommended for 55g tanks and larger...

    if you want to have copepods and such growing in your refuge then you probably dont want to do that. if you dont care about that kind of thing then it shouldnt be a problem

    I just bought a cpr areo fuge with skimmer for a 80 gal tank. I have mt old skimmer running still . The issue is that the water level in the new one is to high for the container. Any ideas how to fix this?:-/
