new mangroves roots refugium display tank

Hello All

i am reposting here as it seems the right forum

have a look at the video so u can see my 60 gallon reef tank which planning to add a 40 liter mangrove root refugium tank display.

what would be the safest way to do it without having to much trouble of maintenance and risks of flood.?

i thought instead of drilling , to purchase one of cpr overflow box, my main concern is not the reliability of the product , but looking for at a safety net , what would u recommend in case the overflow drain get stuck with debris or algae, should we have another drain as a backup ? what would u recomment to ensure safty ?
it's a 40 liter tank.

hope we can discuss it here
looking forward for your ideas

thanks

 

Drilling the tank is really the only way to go if you are looking for a system that won't flood.

 

From what I have read mangroves are not an ideal choice for nutrient export as uptake is slow. Much better off sticking with chaeto.
