Tetra-Tec RefugiumDIY

Sounds cool Covey. I thought about spray painting the lid on mine but I didn't know enough about paint and found a colored piece of plastic that fit inside pretty good. My halide is close to mine so I was getting algae growing on the sponge before. Look forward to the pics.

Glad to hear you are winning the algae war.

 

Well the all-star heater holding, water moving, wavemaking, Chemical filtration holding, mud fuge, macro aglea producing, pod factory has on more thing to add to its resume. It's a moonlight! When the rooms is dark the light that is up in the filter manages to reflect down thru the outputs of the filter into the tank. It is real cool because it shimmers and sparkles. If I had to guess like less than a watt. IMO it look a whole alot more like moonlight than those blue LEDs ;D.

The sweetiest thing about this confert is that with the except of the lid it is completily reversable. I just removed the media and wedge the baffle in place!

 

And weither it work or not here it is shortily before I trimed it

 

Wow.. that is sweet covey! 8)

 

Hey Covey, that was deffinetly hilarious about the demise of your algae!!! Congrats! I have a 10 gal and the algae is a pain in the but! However, I am planning on making my Aqua Clear PF into a DIY refugium, so now I am seeing the light at the end of the algae tunnel!
