The Fuge


Here is a better picture of the sump that I purchased that I converted into an over the tank refugium. This has 2 benefits for our reef tank. It allows a safe place for pod population to grow that will feed our small fish and a separate section to grow macro algae.

I have done a lot of research and the best light cycle for a refugium is 10 on and 2 off. During the 2 hours of darkness if you have an LED light that shines directly into the return line the pods will swim towards the light, thus getting sucked down into the tank. It's a pretty slick and effective method.
