Tank was raw 2x4 stained black and steel wooled then coated.7 pieces 50.00 total.for everything. Skimmer is a swc extreme 200 and no plans for refugium.made my sump from a wet dry 200 gallon. Cut the acrylic and made a section that slide with 2 filter 4 inch socks.it has enough light so any frags I come across . some Picasso clowns.need a vortech MP 10 es next. And water top off.then the clowns and on too coral.thanks again will build a door and side plank. Soon to finish stand.but wanted to make sure every thing was perfect before finishing it in.

I too am in the process of getting one and setting it up. We definitely need to keep in touch. I would like to see some better picks of how the filter socks are working. If you can

Also interested in ATO. I would like to know what your approach is going to be on this aspect. As I read that there is quit a bit of evaporation. Please keep us posted on your set up.

here it is 8 tall x 4 wide x14 1/2 long

Did not know if you wanted it inside sump or out side. And no hole till you get a pump. I will make a top to hang if I know how thick you need it. Cheap DIY refugium be real good for mangroves.
