refugium/frag tank design
anyone out there have any input for refugium/frag tank design? anything in their own they like, or things they would change given the chance to do it over again?
i have a 33 gallon (36x12x18high) I use for mixing water changes in. I was thinking it would be much more beneficial to plumb it into my main system, and utilize it. It's home so far is RIGHT next to the tank anyways, and it just sits there for most of the month... I was thinking something to grow chaeto in, and maybe grow frags in too. (i have a 150W 13k giesemann HQI kicking around i could use for growing frags).
i'd probably plumb it more like a tank than a sump. drill it or an overflow, and run it as high of a water level as possible.
My current sump is a 33 gallon tank that's only filled halfway. My total water volume including rock is 120 gallons, so i think another 33 gallons of water space would be helpful.
any input?
