    Not running yet but it is installed....need to do some light changes..too much crap on the rim of the tank///bigger tank????////maybe next year.
    Got one of those AquaFuge2 25"X4.5"X12"...Got everything to fit..that was the challange....so it looks like it will be ok...
    Now....KITTY LITTER? this is no joke? Make sure it is non perfume?..Does anyone have a brand they have used with success?
    Would like specifics....This is the next step...and I do not want to stumble.

    thanx in advance...

    Looking good you can seed your refugium with copepods once it is 100% set up to jump start your population they are called Tiggerpods and the come live in a bottle in the refridgerated section of your LFS.
