5 1/2 Gallon Refugium

REEFVETTE · 01-24-2005, 02:31 PM

Is this possible guys. To do a 5 1/2 gallon refugium for my 20 gallon reef tank?
Any suggestion on how i would do it?

Well, you could drill out one of the sides of the 5 1/2 gal tank....which is risky..

Then take a powerhead and place it in your main tank with an output hose going into your 5 1/2 gal refugium. Then use PVC fittings/bulkhead on the hole in the 5 1/2 gallon tank. And use piping/flex hose to bring it back to the main tank (i.e. gravity feed it back).

That is one way...
