In Tank Refugium

Posted by gerard on December 4, 2008 under Aquarium Info | 2 Comments to Read

I have a 29gallon Biocube and I was thining about putting a small refugium in my display tank.  Reason being that I want to try and lower my nitrates using some Chaeto.  If i put a refugium in one of the back compartments I have to light it and figure out a way to do that.  I have read of others using a soap dish in their main tank with a clump of chaeto in it.  Then you just light it with your main lights on the tank.  Has anyone done that with success?  Any ideas would be great.

Nano Reefer’s here you go.  If you are just starting out in the hobby this is the stuff you need when you start to build up your coral reef.  I wish someone told me about this stuff when I started out.  Super simple to use and your coral will love you for it.

When using equal volumes of each component, the aquarist can easily maintain calcium and alkalinity levels with no mixing powders, disruption of ionic balance, or addition of organic chemicals. B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System does not contain phosphates or nitrates. In addition to supplying highly concentrated calcium and carbonate alkalinity required for calcification, B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System also provides all other important major, minor, and trace elements in the proper ratios to duplicate the composition of natural seawater. As a result, B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System will help restore inorganic ions lost from protein skimming and help maintain the ionic balance of the aquarium water.
