refugium or not?
I am going to set up a 55 gallon reef tank and will have a skimmer and live
rock. I was considering a refugium, but dont want to hassle with it really. Is a refugium really necessary? If I don't go with a refugium, but do use a skimmer and live rock, is there anything else someone would recommend? And if a refugium is very highly recommended, I have a 15 gallon tall tank..is there a kit to turn this into a refugium?

You can try a refugium later if and when you need it.

If you've space on the top of your fish tank you can always put a smaller
tank on top at one end and drill a hole through the bottom with the skimmer feeding from the top. Although it can shade a little of your tank it means that you can put suitable corals - such as sun corals - under it and make it look stunning. Mangroves can be put in the top tank ('fuge) and make quite a stunning display mixed in with some macro-algae. in - I I I out-II I I II I I II I -----------\\--- -- to tank On Sun, 22 Apr 2007 09:00:08 -0400, KurtG wrote: ITGuy wrote: I am going to set up a 55 gallon reef tank and will have a skimmer and live rock.
