    ::) yeah right :lol: ok I gotcha :lol: I figure in theory(in my head) the water going into the fuge would be distributed evenly by the spray bar. not so much as to blow bubbles, just get a slow flow(I'm using a stop valve off the DT;D) then as it goes into the p.s and then the phos react. it'll pick up "steam", then off to the baffles where it'll go even faster to the return...is this not going to work????I think the end part where the return is needs to be bigger to give more water supply......hmmmm rethinking

    One things for sure Linda, You wouldnt know until you try it. I've been planning to install, incorporate and designing a refugium for the past month and a half. Picking Tangster's, Otty's, reef guru's and Coralreefer's brain to catch any flaws and I even drew a "floor plan" how it was going to look and work, when I realized, it wasnt going to work as I planned it. And when I really thought about it, I came to the conclusion that I dont even need it. Isnt that funny? I guess I was trying to re-invent the wheel. LOL
