Re: Putter's first tank
It just seems so much more complicated than it has to be... A non-floating refugium works just fine.

Re: Putter's first tank
not sure i will have the room for another baffle, how about a second sponge on the return side of the gap?

Re: Putter's first tank
oops...didn't see biff's post before I replied to reef's, the one pictured is already made and on it's way, so I will have to work with it the way it is
 so long as it works is all that matters. Would be a shame to have spent the money and have to dismantle it and start over. I was mostly curious on the drains from the DT and whether or not I should have them split and one running into the fuge on it's own.Current Aquarium(s) Description: 105 gallon flat back hex, ASM G1X, 20 gallon sump/fuge, GenX 6000 retrun,JBJ ATO Solaris 48" LED.

Re: Putter's first tank
Oh Biff,its not that more complicated.If Putty wants control over the flow then let him/her do it.
I mentioned the additional baffle because it looks like micro bubbles from the skimmer passing underneath the fuge may get to the return pump.Hmmmmm...maybe I should of put a period back there somewhere.Do whatever you feel will keep microbubbles from getting to the return pump.

Re: Putter's first tank
Thanks oh freaky one....lol and I'm a him, and I will take a look and see if I can fit the baffle in, if I can then I will, just to ensure I don't end up with micro bubbles, if I don't and I have a bubbly issue then I will try the sponge....thanks again for the advice....can hardly wait until I get more parts here....LOL (this is going to be so much fun)
