why not just have one fuge? here like this one:
AquaFuge External Hang-On Refugium
The AquaFuge is a nursery or isolation area for aquatic life, as well as an environment providing ideal growth conditions for aquarium food like copepods and amphipods. It can also serve as a controlled growing area for the macroalgae that help reduce nuisance microalgae in your primary aquarium. This hang-on model comes with its own powerhead, and features a unique baffle system that prevents any disturbance to the substrate and aquatic organisms while promoting fresh water flow that eliminates stagnant areas. Three sizes.
Size Dimensions
Small 13-1/4"L x 4-1/2"W x 12"H
Medium 19-1/4"L x 4-1/2"W x 12"H
Large 25-1/2"L x 4-1/2"W x 12"H
Small,
$129.99
Medium,
$149.99
Large,
$164.99

You don't think that's a little pricey? Do I really need all of that when I can make one out of an Aquaclear 70? Have you seen that mod? Here's a link:
http://www.reefmonkey.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2222
Approx. $50 for Filter
$10-$20 for small LED light.
Chaeto.
Crushed Coral.
$70 max, as apposed to $150...
Good to go right?!! Just a thought...
I'm aloud to post links I hope!

Thanks dude!
I'm gonna purchase two Aquaclear 70 filters. Turn one into a Fuge, and the other as a regular filter.
What's the most recommended to add into the filter as far as carbon and what not? I'm really a newb when it comes to all of these different options people take on what to add in their filter.
Thanks!

Just got my two little Nemos!
I'm freakin pumped! Also removed the p.o.s. eclipse hood and bought a Aquaclear 50 Filter. That thing blows away the stock Eclipse hood...
Currently drip acclimating my little guys. They have about 45 minutes until they are in their new home!
Pics to come!

You already forgot?!

pH: 8.0
Amm:0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
Temp: 80
Salinity: 1.026 (Hydrometer rather than their refractometer)
