chercm Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 i used eheim compact 600 to pump water in and i drill a hole in the arcylic tank and i lift the tank up so that the gravity will pull the water down . it is to prevent overflow of my refugium Quote Humble tank : Size: 4x2.5x2 ft - Display Equipment : Return 1 : Ecotech marine L1 Return 2 : Ecotech marine M1 CR : Skimz CM122 - Caribsea extra course media with Grotech magnesium Light : ATI 8x54W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How well does it keep phosphates and nitrates in check? I want to install one for my future 90g sps cube. How do you maintain it? Lighting? Flow?

How do you maintain it? Lighting? Flow? Let me share my experiences with Chaetos... you can't really rely fully on Chaeto and do without your PO4 removal media... unless you have a very large refugium filled with Chaeto... a typical example would be a 5ft main tank having a 3ft refugium... since you have not constructed the tank... perhaps you can plan ahead Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
