| Re: Refugium Layout
Okay, sounds like the idea about dual overflows into different ends of the tank would work. Use a valve to control flow in the refugium.
Now I'm wondering just how I want to dump the water into the skimmer and refugium sections. Do I just terminate the pipes 1" above the surface of the water? Or do I box out a corner and fill it with rock rubble. Run the drain tube 1" under the water level and let it disperse through the rock rubble?
Seams to me either would work, but method 2 would be less splashing. Less salt creep. I think I'll get plenty of gas exchange with the tank overflows.
Is a 30g tank big enough for the refugium? I'm setting up a 90g reef with closed loop for circulation. |
