I might use a filter pad in between the intake chamber and the chaeto chamber...
I have to order my light still....but for now i have a temp. pc lighting on it 20watts...lol
And I hate Silicone...

The black sponge where the waterfall hits prevents bubbles...lol

cal,
Do you have any in-progress pics of the fuge you built? I'm planning out a 36g bowfront I just bought and something similar could work well for me! How do you keep the black sponge in place?
TIA,
Justin

Okay I just bought a bottle of nutramar live captive bred copepods (tigriopus sp.)

I just dumped the whole 8oz or 9oz bottle into my fuge...
Heres some pictures of the bottle, my fuge with everything in it and i placed a white filter pad in between my pump intake and the fuge with the chaeto...

lookin good cal, i love the way you did that, but, im actually considering doing away with the filter pad totally on mine, it might stop your pods from getting back into your tank
