Refugium decisions.
Well, For whoever is following my build thread, you will know that I had originally planned to scrap the fuge and store my CL pump in there, but that changed yesterday, so now I have my fuge back, but not sure what method to choose...
1. BB w/ Live Rock and Chaeto, plus a phosban reactor 2. DSB w/ Chaeto, plus Phosban 3. DSB w/ Live rock, Chaeto, and Phosban Unlike my previous plumbing setup, this time I don't have a line running to the fuge from the overflow, so I was thinking about getting a small 50-75gph pump to setup in the skimmer section of my sump with a section of hose and use that for my fuge feed line. My Fuge measures 10x18x15. Any suggestions for/against any of this? Cheers. |
Tagging along.

Why not fed from the overflow?
To your question, I personally like BB w/LR and cheato mainly as easy to siphon detritus (but then my fuge is tied to a drain) and to get any shedding from the macro. I don't bother with a DSB or Phosban as test get 0 or near zero Nitrate (Salifert) and same for Phosphate (Lamotte). |
I'll probably only run the Phosban in the first couple months to stay on top of the new tank phases...
|
No other recommendations?

So far with my BB sump I am loving it. I can see where all the crud is so I can clean it up easily. Though I will be adding some rock into it slowly so I can seed it for my nano when I get that up and running.
