[BigA]

Does anyone know how to mod an aquaclear 110 to make it into a refugium? Tried to find plans using google, but didn't find any that looked useful.

Simple simple, I did my 300 for a fuge......Take out the basket, cut it into the 3 sections (tip side and top), throw 1 side out. Use aquarium safe silicone, and use the remaining side to make a vertical baffle in the basin of the AC, it can be right against the indent for the motor housing, or as I did left about 1cm of space between, to allow water to flow to the bottom, and room for . Now you have a space to put your sand, rubble and cheato into. Take the bottom of the basket you cut, it should be a grid perforation type pattern, use it as a strainer in the outlet, I cut mine to perfect size (including able to put the lid on), and silicones it in place. Lastly, you can cut a hole for lighting in the lid, depending on what you will be using, and you can either buy a smaller impeller for the motor, or I just cut off a few blades....I would recommend buying a smaller impeller though, my flow drastically reduced to just enough, so it was risky.....Sorry I have no pics....

He put the price of everything including the filter and light. If you have those why would you get another one?
Besides, it's just an idea as it gives more detailed pics.
