stick with me here. I tend to get these not so brilliant ideas sometimes. please feel free to set me straight at any time.
the idea that I have this time is to turn my wet/dry into a refugium to house LR and some more algae. the wet/dry that I have has 2 compartments to it that currently sit at the same levels.the one compartment holds the return pump and the skimmer and its pump.what if I use a piece of acrylic to raise the level in the compartment that is currently housing the bioballs to a level that is more appropriate for the LR and algae, then place a small PH for circulation and of course a light for the algae. by using a piece of acrylic to raise the water level I mean putting it over the area where the water travels between the 2 compartments. if this could work I would eliminate the risk of a flood if the siphon for my external fuge was to fail. I know it is late, so I could either be far off or on to something. let me know.
