Here's my undertank refugium. Of course, I built my own stand because I wanted the tank at eye level instead of low like all standard stands. Plus I knew I could make it way stronger! So, in making it eye level, I created more room underneath the tank. So when I built my own refugium with a 45gal aquarium, I didn't have to worry about space! Tell me what you think.

55 gallon under a 90 gallon display. 1st chamber is filter socks, gfo, and carbon reactors. 2nd & 3rd chamber are ceramic bio-balls and rubble. 4th is the algae and clownfish. 5th is the skimmer and return. Bubble Magus BM-T11 comes next Tuesday, let the auto dosing start.

Wish I wouldn't built my own stand for height reason. I bet it easy to work under there with it being high. Looks like a lot of room which I unfortunately don't have

Im learning a lot too. It amazing what you can cram in he stand to run a successful reef tank. You can do anything if you had a room dedicated to your filtration but when you're limited to the space under the tank is where the creativity shows

Nice skimmerHere is mine. I was lucky enough where my sumps are located in the basement. My display tank is in my living room so had a strong pump that's pumping roughly 35ft above. Nice skimmer
DT tank.

My 20L sump under my 33L display. SUPER basic, SUPER simple and works like a dream. Hope you like!!! Drain section on far right falls onto filter floss, then waterfalls over to the middle section where I have some rock ruble, SCA-301 skimmer, heater and CPR tumbler with carbon. Last section is your basic return section with pump and ATO.
