glazer Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hey Joey, I'm not saying this to yank yer chain...buuuuuut if you go to the top of the page and hit that search button and type in "refugium" and "fuge" you'll get enough info to keep ya reading for the next week!...lol By the way I am "pro" or "yea" as you said for the whole refugium thing. If for absolutely nothing more than added water volume to the system...but the benefits far outweigh that as you shall read!..hehehe After you wade through all that info and you've got some questions then....by all means post away. (plus you can say "I did a search ya pogue an that wasn't in there" ) Link to comment
Orange Crush Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Dammit Glaz, you beat me... From a search on "refugium" using the little blue button on the upper right of your screen: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...hlight=refugium Should give you a basic idea. Helped me.

JoeyG Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 Dang, do I feel stupid! I'm pretty new at the whole computer thing. I guess it never crossed my mind to go to search. Well, thanks for the help guys,maybe I'll be back with some real questions. ThanksB) Link to comment
Crakeur Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 being in the wonderful mood that I am in, I will add to this thread, even tho you failed to do the search thing. I own a 7 gallon bow front and the aquafuge adds 2 1/2 gallons of water to the tank. It is overflowing with caulerpa, has one large turbo somewhere in it and at least 4 sea hares (little bastards just keep multiplying). Tions of pods, mysys and other little critters like mini stars and brittle stars. Does it help? Depends on what you are looking for it to accomplish. Mine doesn't seem to keep the hair algae from growing in the main tank but it does give me more total water volume, does allow me to avoid adding flake for the fish as the fuge inhabitants do end up passing into the main tank (especially since my neon dottyback has figured out how to swim up the outflow tube to obtain extra food). I have also noticed that I am starting to get some halimeda growth in the main tank, which I assume is coming from the initial halimeda that was in the main tank. All in all, I am a yea, not a nay on the fuge if, for no other reason than you get extra water volume. Plus, I love shining the light on the fuge and seeing shrimp and other tiny critters scurrying about. Link to comment
JoeyG Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 Thanks Crakeur for your time I need all the info I can get. Hope this reply didn't put out of your good mood:P ha ha ! thanks bud! Link to comment
Crakeur Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 my mood is going to stay good for a while. got a client coming in to see me in 40 minutes and he is usually good for a laugh or two. then I head to the Palm for a steak lunch (god bless you Dr. Atkins) and then I am off to buy some suits courtesy of my old man who promised me a shopping spree if I lost more than 50 pounds (65 and counting). To top it all off, I then go home and get to change poop diapers. Link to comment
JoeyG Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 Way to go dude on losing the sixty pounds. I bet you feel like a whole new man! I work at a gym part time. I really like to see people have results, so many people can't stick with it! keep on truck'in dude! Link to comment
FK3 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 YA thats awesome cograts on you accomplishments. 65 pounds is alot. I dont exactly agree with the Atkins diet, I have my beliefs about it which I wont tell unless you care to PM because it may offened some. If your not already you should look into getting involved in weight lifting, I know I love it. Link to comment
