Display refugium finally added

[Chef Tommy]

I have a 75 gallon mixed reef running on Triton with a refugium built into the sump underneath. This refugium is about 10 gallons but I really wanted to view something with plants and figured frags would be better suited outside the main display too.

I added a line to the manifold to supply water to the additional refugium and created a drain line to enter the skimmer section on the sump.

The display refugium was built from an extra 7.5 gallon Mr. Aqua I had. I'm currently happy with the size as it fits into the area well.

It's lit with a AI Prime HD and additional flow is from a Hydor Nano.

My favorite part is the mangrove. I'm planning on adding sand as well as calurpa and some red algae.

Looking good Always wanted to try mangroves, but never worked up the courage to actually do it

 

[Chef Tommy]

This mangrove has been doing well but I need to get it into sand pretty soon as the roots have been exposed for a few months since changing the refugium over to Triton. This one is about 8 months old. I bought it at MACNA from Julian Sprung's booth [emoji4]

Just received a shipment in from live-plants and am happy to report the macros are great. Also added their live sand.

I just added an in tank fuge on our 50 gallon soft coral and fish tank. It’s 10 gallons and added the Inovative Marine LED Chaeto Grow light. I have a small pump that came with the intank refuge. Do you rotate chaeto by hand or with the aid of a pump?
