Default 10 Gallon as Fuge???

I have acquired a few misc. tanks from customers in the fish trade. Most are 10 Gallon tanks. I am wondering if this size tank would act as a good refugium for my 46g bow front??? I would like to go that route instead of the wet/dry I think. Still not sure.

Advice on the wet/dry verse the fuge is always appreciated as well as if the 10 gallon is big enough.

Thanks,

Todd

Todd,

have you considered using more than one of the tanks, in a series arrangement?

I considered using more than one but do not have the room. I have enough room for one 10G...unless you have a miracle space saving plan/idea. I am all ears...(well eyes on here)

Thanks,

Todd
