I have a Evo all in one 13.5 gallon tank. I wanted to see if anyone has modified one or something similar to have a refuge. I have nitrates that sit around 20ppm all the time now matter what I do. I am kicking around idea of have a smaller tank as a refuge for the main tank but wanted to see some peoples ideas and set ups.

I am just setting up the EVO 13.5 myself and used the InTank Chamber 2 as a refugium. (Chamber 1 has the InTank insert as well that holds my chemical, mechanical and bio media.
I have about a cup of chaeto in there now and an affordable amazon light () that is running about 5 hours per night. I'll increase the light period as I add more to the tank but I do see an overnight reduction of nitrates..

@sam2110 Agreed! It's going to be on the lowest possible settings for intensity and color during the ramping up and down. I had an extra kessil and controller so I figured why not....

If you're on Instagram, there's a guy by the name of @savage_reefer and he has an awesome Evo setup. He plumbed a frag tank below the display tank, very slick setup. Might be good inspiration for plumbing in a fuge.
