In-Tank Refugium for 30Gal tank?

[ireven]

does anyone using In-Tank Refugium? is it a good idea for Nano tank to have the refugium? The size of the Refuguim is 7-3/4" L x 4" W x 7-1/2" H. Includes a Rio Powerhead to keep fresh water flowing through the refugium. $30 total.
what do you guys think?

I bought one a while back..too small imo..Youll only be able to grow so much..
Id DIY a sump/fuge, or just buy a bigger sized one.

i kind like to make one right now. like ....10 gal for my 30 gal main tank. um.....what kind of powerhead you are using for your refugium?(the name of brand and type please). and there is only one powerhead is needed,right?(maybe it's a stupid question, but i've never done refugium before). what about the water flow back?(one more powerhead or just let water flow back it self?) how does it work? the refugium must abovt the main tank,right?
thank you very much.

Heres a really good setup for beginners..this particular setup is used below the tank. This should answer all your questions.

thank you for the help. But the space under my tank is limited, so i don't want to put a fug yet. I might just set a above tank for refugium only. do you have a pic of that ? thanks
