Add a refugium?

[jasonamyers]

I have a Red Sea Max E170 AIO, and I was wondering where/how I would add a refugium to this tank? I'm hoping to help my corals with it. Thanks in advance!

Youd have to look into a hang on back i think. some folks will put chato or calurpa in one of the chambers and light it through the back, like on JBJ cubes, but it has a tendency to collect gunk. Sorry I dont know the layout of your tank.
I use one of these and an air pump or small 12v dc pump on my non sumped tanks.

If you want to get way outta the box. google Chato reactor.

I was wondering the same thing for a Red Sea Reefer 350. If one would partition part of the sump how does a refugium work? Does the water come over the top and need an exit or what? Any help for a really easy
d.i.y. would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. Did you attach the refugium in any way or does it stay in place?

Stays in place with eggcrate. Optionally you could use silicon to lock it in
