hey canadian man you have any ideas for a refugim in a skilter 250 or just a small or 3 gallon tank? i just read your other quate saying for DIY stuff you are the man so now that i got all this kelp and other alge i was thinking a refugim.
also just wanted to say thanks to Delphinus for all that stuff you hooked me up with. its nice to find a place where people are pretty friendly and try to help every one out.

You might have alook at my website to see how I solved the refugium problem. :D :D

Bob has a pretty cool Refugium set up going.
It would be a fairly easy project to copy using acrylic.

There are many options for a refugium.
Mine is in my 75g sump with 1/3 partitioned off as a refugium.
hangons are an easy possability as well.
I would have to see your setup or get a good description of it but like i said not a complicated project.

I should say I dont like drawing things in great detail when i make something. It's all in my mind. A basic drawring of course but most of my stuff just flows.
"Starting to sound like a bloddy artist" :roll:

The acrylic is nice to work with because we could make it any shape we need instead of using a premade thing like a 3g tank.
On the flip side using premade products that you allready have brings the cost down considerably.

sweet i dont know i can get a shot of what the general tank looks like and the table its on the reason i would like a refugim iss bcause it has lots of room on the bottom level hehe i will just show you

Bob,

I like the refugium...looks kind of cool. BUT...the electrical work on top of your tank is give me the creeps....

Yes me too (kind of) As a person who lives alone it worries me less. I am a fully qualified electrician, so I have an idea what is going on. The top and lighting is made by an American outfit. When it arrived, I had no idea where to place the ballasts. I either have to mount everything remotely, or have someone make a bit of a cover. I live in a townhouse and have no tools, so it is waiting. It will probably be contracted out this week. :D :D
