Refugium are really simple. They are essentially an area for critters to take "refuge" from the predator fishes in our tanks. They are a great place to grow macro algae, and house excess rock or whatever.

Mine is just a compartment in my sump, which is just made by sectioning off a portion using glass baffles. You are welcome to come check out how I have done mine. If you have a mantis shrimp in your display, a perfect home could be your refugium. Mantis are super cool, hopefully you got a colourful one.

Well Its a little late for him now (soda water kinda did him in). They are really cool, but this one took a liking to anything that moved. Yeah that would be great if I could take a look at your refugium. Let me know if you have any free time and I can stop by.
