Which Refugium do you think is better?

zoechance · Nov 16, 2012

Hi There! so I am still slowly piecing together my dream tank. Tank will be about 90G (42 x 24 x 20) star fire glass eurobracing. I think a sump/refugium is extremely important and I want a really nice, functional one. I am torn between 2. I have the links below. The first is the Trigger System RUBY 30S and the other is the ETSS 30 Pro! any thoughts? experience? I would appreciate it. For the ETSS I don't think I need all those extra drainage bulkheads on the sides, or do I? I realize 1 is more expensive but I am willing to get the best if it is worth it.

I like the ones in the second link.
I like to keep things on a more simple level.

I'll break the tie. I like the trigger ruby sumps also!!

I'd go with the trigger systems RUBY30E. I like the split design instead of everything inline. Gives better control over the flow into the fuge without killing flow to the rest of the sump.
