Is a 5 gallon Refugium sufficient for a 90 gallon tank

 

[trigahappynigerog]

try to get the biggest one that will fit in the stand

actually I was thinking of placing it beside the tank or just buy a hang on the back refugium (24x4x12) I have about 6" of space behind the tank and about 8 beside it I have a 6x6 space underneath

I doubt if you will see much,if any impeovements in your overall water quality using a refugium that small.Even if it was literally packed full of algae,sand,and rubble rock.You really should look into trying to incorperate at least a 10-15 gallon tank into your setup...

thanks for the advise. I have a 10gallon tank, can I use that with success and I heard some were that it would stabilize the PH if I left it on 24x7 is this true
