Using a 29g tall tank for refugium

GoinSalt · 12-22-2005, 06:01 PM

How can I make this work? Most people generally want to use something shorter and longer, but this is what I got.

What isthe volume of your display tank?

Any size aquarium can be used as a refugium.

It's to have any refugium than none at all.

It's BETTER to have any refugium, sorry!

I would like to make a fuge/sump. The display is 100g. But with the overflow, fuge, skimmer and return, I'm thinking it doesn't have enough space.

well when you build the baffles make a shelf out of egg crate up high for algae to sit in and then in the next chamber make a norther shelf a little lower for the skimmer then a bubble trap for your return pump if need buy a screened bubble trap and put your pump under the algae
