Refugium

[Newbie1]

I won a Refugium and it’s 2ft long 1 foot wide and 1 ft deep. It’s predrilled with fittings and with light. How much water does it hold? How much do these normally go for and would I use it if I already have a sump with protein skimmer and algae scrubber going?

They don’t cost much and you could use it for an external refuge. You can have bugs for fish (mandarin or wrasse) and grow chaeto to help with nitrates or sale.

Are you planning on selling it?

 

[Newbie1]

I really don’t think I need it, so yes. Just wanted to know all my options with it.

Im not sure how much water it holds maybe 20 gallons. How much you asking? I could use it for a project Ive been thinking about.
