I'm setting up a 10g or a 20 reef tank (still deciding). I've heard a lot of good things about having a refugium for a reef tank.
I would like to get one and to see the result for myself. So I would have some ideas to help me decide whether to get a bigger one for my future tank upgrade.
There are several notes that helped me pull a trigger for a refugium are listed below:
1. Having a refugium would increase water volume to the main tank system, specially when I have a nano tank. It helps stablize the tank a little even if small volume of water increase.
2. I have put the heater in the refugium, so I will have more room for aquascaping in the main tank. It would look much nicer without seeing a heater in the display tank.
3. It would help in nitrate reduction.
4. Lime water or any other reef addictives can be added to the refugium first to avoid any PH shock to the livestocks in the main tank.
5. I can even cultivate live food in the refugium without getting a mess in the main tank
So could anyone recommend any HOB refugium? If so, please provide name or link to the product.
Thanks in advance.
