I feel this video is helpful about refugiums- Refugiums in a Saltwater Tank: Viable Nutrient Control or Just a Safe Harbor? - YouTube

Lol my fuge is about 1% of my tank volume XD But mine is mostly as a pod hangout/breeding area more than a macro algae growing area. I currently have chaeto in there, I want to add some Caulerpa eventually.

I have a 75g tank with a 30g long as a sump. The refugium area is 14" x 12" x 12" (almost 9-gallons) and is filled with lots of rock rubble, large LR pieces, as well as Chaeto and Caulerpa...oh, and some monster pods! :bigsmile: I've been running my lights (2 x 13w 6,500K spiral CFL bulbs) the same period the tank lights were on, but I've just changed it to run opposite, based upon this thread.
I'm not running a refugium on my 45g, unfortunately, I don't have room in the sump for one.
