Plenum.
I was wondering if anyone has added a plenum to a refugium or heard of it being done? I might have done it to my tank but now it's to late, so I was thinking if it would work in a refugium.

The February/March issue of Coral Magazine has an artical discussing the Julbert Filtration System. They show a plenum added to a system in different ways. There are pros and cons to that set up so you may want to do your homework before adding one.....

Claudio,
I will have to read those articles to further understand the good and bad points of the system. What little I have read leads me to believe that it may be more trouble than it is worth..... I am an avid believer that nature has done it right so I am going to try and mimic it as closely as possible..... As far as I know (someone correct if I am wrong here) but I have never heard of this type of filtering occuring in nature.... Just a thought...
