Right, basically I actually have a hope of getting a nano :D

you might remember ChrisC? and his DIY refugium

basically I am going to buy an aqua 40 tank and that DIY refugium. I will get the filter that comes with that tank I think but also have a 300lph powerhead in case. and another mystery powerhead lol, it came with the Trio 3000 in case anyone knows what it is.

about the refugium. What shall I put in it, I am probably going to go for miracle mud and some form of macro (thanks Skifletch) .I don't know, what do you suggest as well as the mud?

I will hopefully be putting 2 18w PCs in there. Do you think 1 PC is enough? (I don't) .

So I can have about 1950 lph in the tank :D, that's obviously too much, around 50 times over per hour I think.

If I assume the mystery powerhead is around 700lph then that and the 300lph powerhead would give 1000lph, which is 25 times turnover per hour, but I think the mystery powerhead won't be that big.


So soon I may be living the dream :D

Anyone got any diagrams/info on making a false back?
 
I'd light the refugium and put some chaeto in it for nitrate removal. 1 PC is enough for fish only and softies, if you want LPS/SPS go with 2 PCs
 
Id love to help, but multiple thousands of miles sort of rules that out :(
