![]() I reorganized the chambers and built a chaeto refugium in chamber two. This is not a new idea and some variations can be found on nano-reef.com:
http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/inde...&#entry1818210 Total cost was about $30.00 and time was a couple of hours mostly spent scraping off the vinyl backing and glue. Here are the parts as brought home from RONA. The grey box is an outdoor junction box. ![]() Construction is self explanatory by the pictures, everything got painted black. Removing the vinyl and glue from the back of the tank was a LONG task but I like the way it came out and I am pleased I took the time to make it fit neatly. ![]() ![]() Here is the finished housing, note the two pieces of velco that hold the fuge to the back of the tank. I also dremmelled some vents in the housing but the bulb is a 15w 6700k CFL, not very hot to touch at all. ![]() The fuge is on a reverse light cycle, time will tell if it actually grows cheato.
