agreed! i read a lot of people have been using a clip on light since the fuge isn't very big. That way the light is far enough away from the water.

also would i need a top on the refugium? i plan on putting a mangrove in it anyway so it would be kind of hard to put a top on it

yea I'm not adding anything until at least september, just because i have a couple weekend get aways planned and i don't want to have to worry about it. plus longer the better, right? and I'm going to be adding a CUC first. any recommendations? Another question. Has anyone ran a refugium while...

well i have the tank up and running. for filtration i went with a HOB refugium which I'm going to put some macros in and some rubble rock. also I'm running a HOB filter with just activated carbon (i know some are for and some are against this). as for lights I have a 4 bulb T5HO fixture. as far...

Yea I think I'm going to just go with the refugium and a skimmer. Wish I could do a sump but again limited on space it's going to be on a desk. It's just going to fit with the skimmer and HOB refugium! Thanks for all the info guys it's very appreciated and anything else you know please share the...

I was also given a FINEX HOB refugium, it doesn't seem like much but its also smaller then the aquafuge (which i plan on using on a bigger tank eventually.) i have never used it before would that be worth using instead of the HOB filter? Also what are your thoughts on a canister filter? and yes...

i completely understand, larger the volume the easier. unfortunatley at this time i just don't have the space for something of that size :(. one thing i do have is time though, knowing that I will have to pay close attention to parameters. my plan is just to take it slow and just keep an eye on...

I'm just worried about hair algae i have had wicked problems in the past. however i have made some extremely avoidable errors like using tap water. I have order the RO/DI unit because of that. Do you think the skimmer and water changes would keep nitrates and phosphates under control in a 10...

Thank you for all of that! There is never to much information! the only reason why I was going to do a 10 or 20H was because I already have those tanks. I do love the looks of the 20 longs though so maybe i could make a quick sale to get rid of the other 2 and purchase a 20 long. I do have a 75...

hey guys! its been a few years since i have been on here or had time for a tank. But now is the time! I have a new job and a little more $$ in my pocket. I just ordered the aquafuge 2 HOB refugium large and an aquaFX RO/DI unit. Anybody have any feedback on this equipment? On to the tank, its...

I was just wondering if it's possible for my clownfish to host the corner of my tank? And how could you tell?

yea i dont trust myself cutting anything anyway haha

Shrimp Frogspawn, they told me i would be able to cut of the dead heads and maybe one head would grow back is this true? Clown FTS

i just did a water change yesterday, i do test my water every morning and all of my readings were at 0. which is why i decided to add the coral. i do about 5-10% each week. Like you said to keep the nitrates down. As for now i don't plan on adding anything else for awhile. As for upgrading would...

its been about a week, I have decided i am going to upgrade to at least a 20 gallon at the end of august. Depending how much room i have in the house. There was a sale at my LFS so i decided to get a few things. A week ago i purchased a small clown and a skunk cleaner shrimp. I also got a frog...

also i was just wondering how do you lower nitrates?

My LFS has a sale this weekend on Inverts. I may add an emerald grab and a cleaner shrimp? what do you think?

Thanks snake! Yea I understand I kinda forgot about te forum rules... Oops.. But yea having them special order is a great idea I should talk to them about that!

This is why I'm seeking help haha. i guess ill end up getting one sooner then later

That powerhead looks perfect, i mean i don't plan on getting any corals for at least a couple months or so.
