What's in your nano fuge?

[fisherson]

Hello i'm looking into getting a small 12-14 inch refugium for my 10 gallon reef. Just wondering if anyone has one and could give me a list of what's in it.
What's used for a pump?
what algea's
what inverts..
and so on
Also do you only need a pump on one side of the refuge?

check out some of the threads using a AC500 for fuge on small nano tanks

get an AC500 and a decoart 13 watt light to hang over it.Just put the live rock rubble and then the cheato in were the media supposed to be. It may not be the fanciest way but to make the fuge the way some other people make it with baffle and stuff is a little time taking.

what i don't get is how doesn't the algea from the filter spread into the tank? or does it and i just have to watch out for it?

Also isn't that to much flow for a 10 gallon tank it says AC500 has 167GPH...with my other filter and a powerhead i think the tank's gonna be a storm no?

well if you want a fuge under the tank you have to have an overflow box which is too big for a ten gallon.
Get some eggcrate and put it over the opening where the water flows out.
