Nuvo 8 Refugium DIY IM Innovative Marine

[krourke85]

Hey all,

 

Everyone's been so helpful with my questions, I thought I'd try and give back by sharing my DIY refugium. It's been working great for the first 3 weeks, already exported to caulerpa and the cage is almost fully rooted

Quick update:

 

This is the refugium after a few weeks. Looks like I'll be exporting about a tennis ball's worth of algae every 3 weeks.

 

Side note - you will need the right type of algae scraper for this, as rear-lit refugiums create a lot of glass algae!

Hey, mega intersted in what you have here. What is the container you are using for your 'fuge?

 

I was reading your posts in http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/350420-any-hints-for-biological-reduction-of-nitrate/

and i am of the same mindset, i'd like my tank to be more self sustaining as, isn't that the cool part about our mini-oceans?

 

So i'm intersted in doing something similar to what you have here on my Macintosh tank.

 

I'd love your input.

 

thanks
