| Re: Topic of the Week August 14 - Refugiums
The DSB would need to be deeper than 4.5 inches to provide the anaerobic area for bacteria. If you are limited on space then it would be possible to eliminate the DSB, or put it in a bucket in the sump if there is room. I think ANY size refugium is better than no refugium at all. If you are limited in space for algal nutrient uptake then have your refugium be a rubble zone pod farm and use a trough such as Paul B has installed... 
to be your turf scrubber. It would use stray light from your tank system and could use return water from the sump so no extra pumps are necessary. I like this idea a lot.
