If you look under "new hobbyists" then my post "Refugium help" alot of people are helping me out. Same process as you...I have a 46 gallon and have a 10 gallon just sitting around. If you guys can post any pics or add to the helpful hints on that post I would appreciate it. Question...

Oh, nevermind, I looked at your pictures, in the middle. If you can answer the other questions though thats cool. Thanks

Where do you add the LR and sand? Also what overflow do your recommend CPR or another company? I know Aquaclear makes one. Oh yeah, HOB means hang on back right?

Are the little tenticle looking things suppose to be out all the time or most of the day? Because if they are then something might be worng.

Thanks, posted it.

Acrylic sheets to make a refuge? Also can people post pictures of how their refuges are set up, where to place the acrylic and all that good stuff. Thanks.

Exactly, well put. If the water is not high enough it breaks the siphon. But they do make a siphon overflow that will keep the siphon so once the water level raises again it will then begin to flow again. Made by CPR.

Can everyone post pictures of the refuge tank itself? I am thinking of building one out of a 10 gallon tank. I wanna see how everything is divided and so on. Or if it looks that difficult I might just buy a premade one. Thanks. I have a 46 Bow with enough room for a 10 gallon underneath...

Does anyone have a devil's hand that turns colors? Mine will be green one minute, brownish the next. Open one minute closed up another then droopy another. Whats going on? Is this the way it is or is something wrong?

Well this what I understand. You can place the box at a level where it will only drain a certain amount because the water will then hit a level where it can no longer drain any more. But...the refuge will have to be able to hold the water up to that level. So once the water from your tank gets...

Also...Anyone know what overflow is better? CPR or Proclear. Any diffrence?

Because the pump from you tank to the refuge. will create a water flow on its own using gravity. Then if the power ges out your pump in your refuge will be powerless and water will continue to run (due to the vacuum) over flowing the fuge. and flooding your floor. Not good if your out for a...

WOW, you know what your doing. Maybe I should just buy the premade ones. That is pretty intense. I appreciate the pictures though, I noticed you have a rather large skimmer. I would be using the Red Sea prism deluxe. Can I use that in the refuge? What my concern is really, how do know what...

Does anyone have any recommendateions for a refuge tank company? What is better a premade one or make it myself? If anyone prefers the premade please tell me what comapany. If anyone tells me to make one please post some methods that were on this site. thanks in advance.

I think Im pretty limited in space underneath this bow cabinet. 12" front to back and 33" from left to right. Height is 28 1/2". So whatever dimention tank I could fit under there I will try. I would like to put my skimmer in there along with my heater. What you think?

COOL! Now if I do one of these for my 46 bow is a 10 gallon tank good enough or do you recommend a larger one? OR, do you recommend me not building one and buying one from one of these companies? Currently I am running a Fluval 305 canister which is doing fine. Can I continue to run this...

THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLY. Sorry not yelling, CAPS lock on. Are these good to use? I assume they are ran off of electricity? Also they will not allow a flood if power goes off right? I will look up these that you posted. The U Tube style is that a brand or is that a design of CPR's?

What company makes that one you have in the picture? Thanks guys for answering. Everyone is great on this site. LOL, funny guy.

Overflows? I'm sorry to butt in on your post but...Is this overflow that hangs on the back of the tank for a refugium? I trying to get info on how to build a refugium not having to drill holes or using a hangon refugium. Can you guys help me out, or just post something on my post...."Refugium...
