Using an old Aqua clear wet/dry for Refegium

[tqreefrookie]

Guys,

I didn't see any post on this subject or info on the main page but here is my question.

I have a old Aqua Clear wet/dry 175 which I plan on to use for a refegium. It holds an additional 18 gal. I will sit behind my 10 gal tank and the intake will feed by a small pump from the 10 gal. Inside the old filter will be about 6 inches of live sand and some live rocks. The return will be by a overflow bulk head about 3/4' or 1".

1)Finally, my question is besides stocking it with live rocks and sand, what other marine life should I add to it?

2) Also, is this overkill for a nano?

Thanks guys!

should work great. macro algae is very important. go to the refugium area for more info.

You're going to need to find a way to light the AC 175 in order to grow the macro.
