well, with the impending reality of moving to S. Florida I would like to offer up my complete system to anyone that would like to purchase it. I am asking $5000.00 for the ENTIRE set up. (Total invested is over $8000.00) Link to some pictures of said system...

Good point Ophiura - Frag holders is another great use for the rubble rock. dxtr

I put the small pieces of LR that were in the bottom of the bag into a bowl with some tank water so the paper would fall off then picked out the pieces and put them in my tank. Now they're in my fuge. dxtr

NSarno and everyone. the fuge is working wonderfully. Kept close eye to make sure no leaks or problems, and so far so good! I will be getting a screen for the bulkhead returning hte water to my sump. already found a wandering snail in there. :scared: Good luck and i'll post pics once it...

thank you all for your assistance and thoughts! I am pleased to announce my Fuge is set up and working wonderfully! I have utilized the righ overflow tube from my DT and re-routed it directly into my new Fuge. Once the fuge gets to the necessary height, gravity takes over and returns the...

I could install a Ball Valve on the PVC from the HOB to the fuge to control the flow into the fuge, while still utilizing gravity for the return to the sump. I believe the retun pump is rated at 1000-1200 gph. I have also located a website that sells the overflows. I may get one of those if...

best thing I've learned about feather dusters, I they are best when left alone. Find that spot with medium/low flow and let it be. I made the mistake of moving one from one side to the other to get it in a better "viewing" area and I'll never do that again! Good luck and post some pics...

I just fragged some shrooms. I cut them "like a pizza" with scissors and put the pieces into individual "cups" with lids so they can attach to rubble rock with out being blown throughout my 100 gallon. From everything I've read, all you need to do is slice and dice them up and provide them with...

JoeZ. Yeppers, i understand the concept of overflow and return pumps thanks for the 411 What I am questioning is the HOB filter that will draw DT water (from the middle and not skimming the top) into the HOB resivoir and the 1" hole that will drain to the refuge. Then have gravity take...

I feel your pain and am sorry for your loss. I've had 2 fish jumping incidents also, 1. lubbock wrasse i didn't know was missing till it was waaaaaayyy too late... and the 2. was my psych. mandarin which was flopping around ont he floor at 6am. He is still alive and doing very well. dxtr

i was just thinking about that. Thanks dxtr

that's what I was thinking. I have a small HOB filter that I can connect a hose to and have it drain into the Fuge, then drill a hole in the left side so gravity can do the rest and let it drain into the sump return pump area! Thanks!! dxtr

I'm a little bit confused on what you are trying to say. Where is your return pump currently located in your sump? It is located in the far right chamber of the sump tank. First picture. I was thinking if there was a way to get the fuge to drain into the tank with out having to drill.... but...

anyone? thoughts

Hello fellow reefers. Here's the situation. I have a spare 10 gallon and am trying to figure out how to set up a refugium for my 100 gallon. I have attached the pictures to assist you all in what i am looking at. The 10 gallon would sit next to the 30 gallon sump approximately 6" higher. I...
