Hello,


I have a 75gallon tank that's been set up about 1.5 months. Going for a reef and currently have 165watts PC lighting, 80 lbs LR..I run a canister filter with no carbon, just some rock and pvc pieces for physical filtration. I also have a 20 gallon sump. I'm looking to add a refugium to grow some macroalge and especially to raise copopods.

I'm curious for suggestions on any companies that make hang on back refugiums. Which would be better for the copopods? Are there any that would allow these into the main tank easily or how else would I get them from the refuge into the tank for my fish. ALso, what would the general setup for the refugium be?? Any info on companies or DYI ideas would be appreciated!!

thanks,
Justin

the cpr units look pretty good, i'm thinking about getting one myself, i tried setting up a refuge in my sump but there was just to much water flow, heres a link to the best price i've found
