Refugium Idea

I was a little cramped for space under my 110XH Tank. I already had a 30" Icecap sump and wanted a refugium...

Here is what i ended up coming up with for those who might be stuck with space issues.

I used a 5 Gallon Trigger ATO w/2 1 inch bulkheads w/screens and a quiet one 250GPH pump and gate valve to slow the flow down.

I built a similar set up with my old 90 gal.
Instead of adding a new pump i used my over powered return pump added a T fitting , ball valve and adjusted some flow into the refugium. Worked great

Wow that looks great. You may want to wrap part of it to prevent light spill.

I actually put a larger finnex (sp) 20inch refugium lights on the back side of it so it gets plenty of light now... but yeah i almost wrapped it in foil if i was just stuck using the H80.
