Looks like a good start. I am all about those yellow clown gobys. Think about turning that heater horizontal and pushing it to the bottom of the tank. it will be hidden by the rock work. And when you get a chance cut out a nice piece of paper to put up as a back ground.

Are you making the refugerium or are you buying one. In either event - show us what you are planning - you are off to a great start!!

Here are some fuge pics I took today. I moved the heater to the fuge added 2 lbs of LS and 1 lb of LR. I am now looking for some macro to put in there. 13w light, 12" fuge, black wall towards tanks to reduce light.

It is a standard CPR 12" fuge with a Jali 13w lamp fixture. Nothing really fancy. I missed out on the custom fuges by reefer on the boards here and I wasn't really to sure how to build one myself. So, I paid for one, ya I paid more than what I should have, but I didn't want something that looked like crap either. I painted the wall black. I used Krylon Fusion Paint.
