DIY refugium

So I rock a 55 gallon, sump but no refugium due to space in the skinny sump I have. Looking for an add on DIY version with little overflow failure issues. I searched the forums and there is so many out there. So, you you guys have favorites? Im looking for simple, cheap effective versions...

Cheers!

get an aqua clear 125 off craigslist, some miracle mud, a cheap clip on fixture and 6700 k bulb at lowes and then order some chaeto off ebay! should be under $100!

google aquaclear fuge mod or something like that!

try to get a CPR hob fuge if ya can find it!

 

Filtration - Reef - Hang On Refugium with Protein Skimmer

i have the smaller version. i don't use the protein skimmer section... perfect flow for growing pods or plants

 

This is pretty rad, cosmo...

 

Cosmo's post is the way to go IMO.

 

Hey jw how does this hang on to the back of th tank? Is it from the middle of the refugium or on both sides. Pics?

 

just hangs on the back of the tank grows a ton of chaeto algea. takes up about 4-6 inches from the back of your tank to any wall. the only thing that hangs inside the tank is a small pump and the return pipe
