LF: someone to build a hang on tank refugium
 

Anyone help me out here? Looking for a 22" x 12" x 6" glass box that I can hang off my tank for a refugium to breed chaeto and various pods.

I'm not sure if this will offer any hell, but I was able to find a guy in Medicine Hat who made a DIY a hob refugium using an aquaclear filter, and cut up the tray thinger to keep the chaeto inside the filter and painted the outside to keep the light from spreading and bolted a small puck light to the top to ensure proper lighting. I've seen videos on YouTube of people using a larger size with great results. Maybe an option if you can't find exactly what you are looking for...
I can send you picture if you would like an idea.

Check with Denny at Concept.

Both Concept and Golds can make the actual refugium, figuring out how to hang the thing on the tank is the issue, as neither works with acrylic, just glass, so I would need to come up with some kind of support, hooks or a stand.

If you have a drawing with dimensions why not hit up a plastic sign company? Loads around and on many of their websites they show product mockups...on quite a few I've seen plastic boxes a fuge would be no different.

I can build you an acrylic one if you're interested. My rate is 4 Guinness per hour plus material cost. The refugium you describe is likely only an hours work, material probably around $40 :biggrin:

$180 and a high fail rate pump :(
