Coraline is on a distinguished road


 
Default Beside Regugium

Hi Everyone, I am new here. I would like to build a Refugium in a 20 Gal. tank that is beside my Main 75 Gal. tank. Is this possible and what would I need for plumbing? I think to start with I will need an over flow box. I have some Bevels coming. I would like to plumb this with soft tubing if possible as I think PVC will look bulky on a Refugium that is in sight. Does anyone have any idea's how to do this?

Thanks!

Thanks for notoriety,Acenia...But if you decide to use that design Coraline..I would lower the return line by a inch or so, to get a little more flow
