thought I'd toss up a couple photos of stuff Im working on.

First.... The achillies acclimating in a five gallon bucket:

NEXT, The FUGE REACTOR

For a fuge I wanted it to be seperate from the sumps. I was also thinking of designing it in a way that would allow for live rock, but prevent detritus from being trapped below, also just as in a carbon, phosphate or calcium reactor I wanted to maximize the contact time for the algaes to suck up the nitrates and phosphates in the water. Heres what I came up with.

I should add, I havent added any algae yet as I dont have any.

 

[BCT182]

The water is carried into the refugium through a 3/4" pvc. I cut a plug to spray like a lawn sprinkler on the end of the 3/4" PVC. The water sprays out across the bottom of the tank and prevents a build up of detritus. Above this is the egg crate and rocks for places for pods and stars to live. I will add algae there. Finally there is an overflow back to the main sump. The flow is entirely controlled by a ball valve.

Vewwrryyy nice!!
