HOB refugium
 

Does anybody know where I can buy an HOB refugium? I would like one similar to this one AquaFuge Hang-On Refugium. Thank you.

You can't really buy them already setup (I have never seen any that way) But all's you need to buy is the largest size AquaClear Filter which is an AquaClear500. Then you setup the refugium yourself. Using sand, live rock rubble, and macro algaes, lit by a desklamp (some people specify a K rating for the bulb) .. and that's it.

Maybe there are pre-made , ready to go ones.. I am not sure , I just haven't seen any on this board yet.

Yup. I use a AC500 & AC300 as my HOB refugiums. I have seen several HOB refugiums for sale on EBay so if you want a specially built one, that's where to look.

I have never used one but have also seen them on e-bay. Here is a link to one.

You could always draw up your design, and pm bear27 - he's a whiz with acrylic, and is known for building stuff to spec :cool:
