DIY wet/dry/refugium

Here it is guys! got it all done finally....lol

 

looks good man, K+ for a great DIY project

 

is the refugium the whole left side? I guess I don't see the point in the small divider on the end. unless you refuge is only 2" high?
good work by the way.

 

Bravo !! Make'n it your self is so much more gratifying. Good, clean work.

The fuge is the middle part which is 12" X 11-1/2" X 5" it is just a 20g long, the part under the egg crate probably use for live rock or something else, is hard for me to say as of yet, since there be very little light shining there, or so I hope! the other small area be for the return pump.

 

thanks is always good to diy because what the stores sell for $100's diy are mostly under $100.....

 

Looking very good, I'm looking at ideas as for my 75g tank/sump which is being setup as the sump for my 120g... been considering some manner of incorporation of a wet/dry... since there will be lots of room to do so...

One question on the detail of the top plate for the tower, it looks like it is sitting on top of the side walls vs. sitting on a lip inside of the top, will this permit salt creep under the top and down the sides, as well as possible drips?

 

Looks great buddy, real clean and professional. Great job. Luna

 

If you look close you can see that the lid has rim incorporated on it that slides down inside the tower by at least 1/2" which should alleviate any problems with drips and salt creep. When I first looked at it I thought the same but I went back an looked at the other pictures that were posted and saw the lip added to the rim.

Nice work R34dawn!

 

Ok, I see how that's been done.... very nice.... thank you.
