Re: Recommend a refugium for 55-gallon

i use to run a 20 long under my old 55. it was a sump/ refugium and i never had any trouble, nut i would suggest going as big as you can fit under the tank and make it yourself to save some money. we can walk you through the process here. it is so easy that even Biff built her own. lol

It's true. I built my own sump/refugium out of a 20 gallon tank. It's super easy.
