Yes it can be done. I've done a 14cm space between a the internal and external box before.

jc85 your right, overflow box made by *** has know to give a lot of problems as it runs on a pump and the design has tendency of breaking the siphon. The Life reef, I~Box, Americal overflow boxes has no problems at all as the designs are very reliable. I had mine running for over 8 months with not a single siphon water breakage at all. I can guarantee it.

Here is the pic.

I got an I~Box which i'm selling cheaper as I made a mistake and cannot put the durso pipe in. It will be just like the other retailed Overflow box. Only this set is going at $90 for my stupid mistake!

I agree. Have sweet innocent faces like my avatar !

Thx. Yes you can use it for a 2ft tank.

Hey guys! Finaly got the I~Refugium done, except the brackets will be done tomorrow. Here is a picture of it.

Great idea. Simple, cheap (more like free) and when your done just throw it away.

Eh how you know? Way before your time!

ai[k²]wan I'll get the pictures tomorrow. Just completed the testing sets and tomorrow doing up the plumbing.

Of cause you can DIY your own sump. You got to decide what material you want to use first. Glass or Acrylic. Glass you can draw your design and measurements and get a glass shop to cut and you fix it up or get the shop to do it for you. Acrylic is the same thing but you would to have alot of practice. Another way is to buy a glass tank and silicon partitions to your design. Need more info you can always PM me.

Open to max of 15pax.. (small house) LIST. 1) Terryz 2) Clownfish 3) Ron 4) hoppinghippos 5) Ian I'm interested but must see if other half is busy or not! Let you know soon.

Guys I can vouch for hackers. He is a Marine hobbies and not doing it commercially. Anthony go easy on him. He is my good friends buddy.

Great Job Ming!

Thanks for the feedback! 4" was the standard everywhere i go to, but once i complete them i'll then decide. The problem is not everyone has that much space behind the tank. Anyway thanks!

Thanks dude!

At the moment only live rocks, salt water and sand. I've new in marine too.

Does Hougang count?

The Medium Size still available! Features: Portable Easy installation No siphoning needed Lighting and pump not included The refugium is an area located outside of the main tank with tank water flowing through it in which caulerpa, a macro-algae plant, is grown and harvested. Caulerpa is renown for its abilities to purify the water by greatly reducing nitrates and phosphates. Lights are put over it for the caulerpa to grow and the refugium also acts as a refuge for filter feeders such as copepods, or 'pods' so to speak. These are a big part of a healthy reef and the refugium provides a safe haven for them from the inhabitants of the main tank.

Do you have a picture of your tank and the lighting set?

Yes you need a small pump to get water form your tank to the refugium. Place a sand bed of ultra-fine calcium-carbonate sand or get some sand form your main tank. Place a pile of small broken up rock or dead coral skeletons in it to provide surface area, and places for the critters to hide. Plant some macro algae, prune them occasionally to provide a nutrient export to your system. Throw in a snail or two to help keep it clean, after it is well established.

For your situation your right, the water level in main tank and sump, both will have different water levels when it evaporates... As for the common setup: 1) water is pumped into the main tank from the sump, 2) water in main tank rises and overflows into sump. Therefore main tank water level is constant. So we just check the sump water level for top up.

Since its gonna be a new tank, go for an overflow system. Get a sump with a refugium. The sumpcan hold all your equipment, like skimmer, carbon, polyfilter etc.. Do not put coral chips, bio balls in your sump. Oh yes, Welcome to SGReef!
