Aquafuge question

[SunsetApisto]

is it possible to hang an aquafuge on the side of a 20H?

 

Cause I've got a bak pak and an AC so I really have no room on the back.

yikes. that would be a tight fit. i leaning towards no. seems like if you where going to add an aquafuge though that you would just ditch the AC

thanks, thats kinda what I figured but I wanted a second opinion.

 

Well, do you know of any fuge I could attach that would be visible (I like marine planted tanks), or does that entail building my own? (which I don't know how to do)

It physically wouldn't fit. The 12" Aquafuge is actually 13 1/4" wide. The 20H is 12" wide. It tank would be not wide enough by over an inch.

really, i dont see why you need the AC on there. It would be a lot easier to buy the aqua fuge, and then hang a small power filter on the side.

yea I ditched the ac. My skimmer collects enough crap.

 

Anyway, we have established that the aquafuge will not fit.

 

The motive of this post was that I want to hang the refugium facing my bed so I can see it at night when the reef lights are out. I do not want my refugium to be tucked away where nobody can see it.

 

I went to the DIY forum and got some good ideas on building my own (I forgot who it was but theres someone building a ten inch fuge to go on his 12" side, so I'll be following that post closely)

 

Thanks for your input guys!

just curious but ive been reading alot of info on nanos and every where says you dont need filters and its better just to use biological filters. but now im reading alot of people say they are using filters and what not. could you explain this discrepency? thanks

most of us use mech filters to polish the water. (correct me if I'm wrong?)
