Hello everyone,
i need a little help deciding on a refugium before i purchase. I Have looked at having one custom built. I have a 55 gallón tank and the first one i was quoted has three chambers and holds 23 gallons. The water comes into the first chamber through a filter sock and then the skimmer, it will then go through a hole into the second chamber which 7 inches by 12 inches and then to the return section. The other one holds 32 gallons. The water comes into the first chamber through a media pad then drops down through bio balls then comes out on the bottom. First chamber is 8 inches. Second chamber is 17 with the skimmer and has a 11 compartment inside it for the refugium which is 11 inches. It has a pump that pumps the water into the refugium. Then it hitos the return pump back into my tank. 100 dollars in difference and not sure which one to go with. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
