That makes our tank almost the same age ... and with only 2 Chromises, you've done well managing the bioload in a 2ft setup :)

Perhaps, the Mods will like to move this to the photography section, and you can post your tank specifications and equipment.

Its looks like there's an awful lot of bubbles in your tank, is it from the return pump? And does it freak out your fishes?

Question, what's a refugium? is it like a sump with additional stuffs in it?

Refugium

In short

A Safe Harbor

At its most fundamental level, a refugium is nothing more than a safe place where some livestock can grow free from the reach of its would-be predators. It can be a section of an aquarium separated by a simple divider, a drop-in in-tank refugium, a section of a sump or a separate tank tied into the main system. The purpose of the refugium in an aquarium is to allow certain species to grow or reproduce.

While this basic concept is implemented in all refugia, most have developed to serve more functions. While specific refugium functions are many -- including denitrification, nutrient absorption, algae cultivation, invert cultivation, coral propagation, alkalinity buffering, ph control, calcium supplementation and detritus filtration -- most refugia are designed with one of two (or both) functions in mind: filtration or feeding.
