refuge build

I am thinking about building a refuge, I have a 65 gal tank, with a wet dry filter with bio balls,and I added a piece of live rock down there. But I am thinking about doing away with the wet dry box and replacing it with a fuge. I just dont know what size fuge i need, any help out there.

 

if you have room in your stand you may be better off to just buy a small 10g tank and set that up as a fuge.

mainly due to you want a very slow flow in the fuge so the plants/macros can do their jobs and remove the nitrates and other baddies

 

From my understanding, if its going to be the main filteration, it should be 10-15% of the DT. If its going to be an add on(like mine) it could be a 5 or 10 gal tank. Luna

 

It is not a bad thing that a fuge is over size if its what space youve got, ie: wet dry chamber , you can just tee off your main supply to the wet dry and place a ball valve in line to direct the correct volume to the fudge
