    Very, very nice. Watch your electricals. What plants are those and what lights do you run if you have corals in refugium ?

    I love those Sun polyps. Can those be put in the main tank? I thought I read somewhere they like low light????

    I have Mangroves and cheato for now. Those two corals dont feed off the lights(photothinsis)(sp), they get target feed. I have them in there b/c thats the only place where I can target feed them and the fish wont steal the food away from them. The lights are two 18w 7100k bulbs. Luna

    I did have them in the DT but had to place them in the refugium b/c pf the following;

    They do have low light compared to the MH's they had before.

    Very nice sump / refugium Luna - going to see what I can get put together. Very organized. I need to make some adjustments to my setup, I think.

    I was just going to see if i could get the dimensions of your baffels and your your whole sump/fuge. I really like this design and i wanted to make something a little different but very close to this setup on a 20 long. Also this may be a stupid question but where is most of the evaporation going to occur in this design?

    As far as I know, the evaporation always occurs in the return pump section.
