Planning refugium.

[jtown]

I'm planning on setting up a refugium this winter and I have a bunch of questions. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Setup ...

 

20L Main Tank

15G High Designer Tank Refugium - http://www.all-glass.com/products/aquarium...ms/designer.asp

 

I plan on drilling the 15G so I can plumb it to overflow into the main tank. Here are my questions.

 

1. What size piping would be best? 1"?

 

2. What do I need to buy to do the piping myself assuming I have the holes drilled in my 15G? Where can I buy this stuff? Home Depot?

 

3. How should I connect the piping to my flexible tubing that will be in between the two tanks? Any specific type of tubing that I should use?

 

4. What configuration works best? I want it to be as quiet as possible which will mainly deal with the overflow in the refugium. Shouls the overflow be pointed straight up or should I have it just sticking out horizontally?

 

In the 15G I plan on makin a wall of some sort so I can reduce the amount of water flow in the tank itself ... kind of how the aquafuge is set up. Thanks for any help!
