Default refugium and ato project
I had a bunch of equipment sitting around, so I came up with an idea on how to use some of it. I placed a five gallon tank at the same level beside my main tank. Connected the two with a one inch siphon. For the return I used a throttled down AC 201 powerhead. Added some sand, LR, and picked up some Chaeto. Now I have a splendid refugium.
I then placed the 15 gallon tank I use for the reservoir for the ATO beside the refugium. Hung the level switch for the ATO in the refugium. The ATO is fed with another 201.

Now if I can figure out how to put a picture in this post I will be happy.
