another fun thing you could do is turn a reactor into a refugium. It's a very cheap way to get a refugium onto your system and honestly it would be the perfect size refugium reactor for your tank.

Here's a quick youtube video showing an example of one

No refugium or GFO. I added some rowaphos to take out some of the phosphates.


The reactor turned refugium is a good idea. Just have to make some space for it in the back compartment.

Why not just design the refugium reactor to hang on the back of the tank. And just have a submersible pump in the back section of the tank feeding the water via tube in through the reactor then flow back into tank towards the skimmer. There are reactors that are designed to hang off of the edge of the glass to save space

That's what I was thinking of doing, but I currently have all compartments in the back in use. So I would have to reorganize a bit in order to fit the pump back there. But that's a good idea. Probably what I will do. I will just have to wait until after christmas. Christmas and the move really eat up my reefing money
