Building a wet/dry and refugium

jgb23 · 07-09-2006, 12:33 PM

I am getting ready to build a wet/dry filter system with a refugium. I am going to use a 20 gallon glass tank and by some acrylic and cut to fit for the compartments and bubble traps. This will be for a 75 gallon reef tank. Here are my questions.

1. Is 20 gallons big enough for a 75 gallon tank.

2. What kind of silicone and/or adhesive do I use to attach the accrylic partitions to the glass tank?

Thanks,

Joe

Are you sure you want/need a wet/dry? What are you going to house in the main display?

Then, you don't really need the W/D part. I would just plumb a refugium with a compartment for a protein skimmer.

I will see if I can find a picture or something for you.
