It's a 125G's. I have two 300w heaters but i guess I'll do as you do and hide them behind the rock work. Was just trying to keep my tank as clean as possible. I guess it will just be used as a refugium. I'm in Atlanta so in the summer the AC runs all the time and we rarely use a heater in the...

Should I try and place my heater in my aquafuge2 hob refugium or use it strictly as a refugium on my FOWLR tank? Just looking at all possible options to keep as much equipment as I can out of the tank.

And if I added corals later?

Any suggestions on how high I should mount my Hydra 26's above the tank? I have 4 lights and the tank is 24 inches deep. This is a FOWLR tank.

I found a a LFS and that's what they suggested. So of course I started researching it and found a few videos on it.

I have a 20 gallon tank for a QT. My plan is to rinse the media from the filter and the filter pads in the water from the canister before I dispose of it. That way I preserve the bacteria. I will have a refugium but it will be a HOB. I hope I'm going about this the right way.

My wife bought the tank and the filter as a birthday gift and I've been gradually adding equipment. My preference would have been a drilled tank with a sump but since I'm so new to the hobby I decided to research and go with what I was given.

Thanks for the reply Beth. I'll be using chemi pure blue, and chemi pure elite in the bottom tray. Biohome ultimate in the middle tray and the coarse and fine filter pads in the top along with some seachem purigen ultimate.
