I was wondering too about taking the bio-wheels off my Emporer 400. How could it be used as a refugium? Isn't it a little small for that?

i get the idea of growing pods on bioballs and such, but how do u do it, do they just start growing on the bioballs, or do u have to put in like live rock to get it started? jw

I'd go to your LFS andsee if they have any LR rubble in their tanks and just get a small handful from the bottom and toss it in there and go from there .....

Does macroalgea need light to survive? If so then it would be hard to put light over an emporer 400 hang on filter and try to use it as a small refugium, wouldn't it?

you can buy clamp on lights and yes - macro algea needs light to survive - many people run a light over their fug 24X7....
can't remember the comapny that makes the clamp on lights but it can be done!
