Setting up my first reef tank after the holidays. I've always found bigger tanks to be easier to care for so a refuguim sounds like a great addition.

I'm 63 and it's been 25 yrs since my last reef. OMG so much has changed. I'm purchased and old 70 Gallon DAS and am refurbishing it. Studying sumps and excited to get into setting up a sump. This video explained a lot. Thank you so much.

Just acquired a 75 gallon tank that was full of live rock and running. After a 2 hour breakdown and set up, it all went well. I did notice my sump's refugium was full of sand and had not been cleaned in a while. Glad I found your video! I'm sold on what you did and I need the larger sump. THANKS!!! 👍👍👍👍

I used to have a 55 gallon Amazon set up with neons, angels, and piranhas, but had to get rid of it when I moved to Florida. I haven't had a tank since, but thanks to your videos, I've learned a lot more about all kinds of tanks and ponds and I'm getting ready to set up a new tank. Thanks for all your pointers and hilarious pop culture references in your videos!

You can even set up a small Refugium in the back of a Biocube. Use a blade to get the black vinyl off from over the second chamber and use macro algae and instead of bio balls! Starting off in the hobby and still doing my research but when I take the plunge I will be having at least a small refugium! Love your channel.

I really have limited experience with a refugium, pods, and microalgae. What I do know is that my past purchases of pods from Algae Barn were great. The pods grew and thrived in my past tanks. Now I hope to win to help start up my new tank!

Im 14 and im already on my 2nd reef tank and im pretty knowledgeable about reefs and the importance of a sump (thanks to jorge), sumps do all things they mechanicley filter, and biologicaly filter your water. The main idea is to filter your water and to harber beneficial backteria for your corals to be happy and healthy😁

The pile of rocks will not help in keeping the tank clean and running smooth ,rocks should be elevated off the sand bed.Most tanks I see people are not taking the time to set up a proper rockwork allowing the powerheads to blow fish waste and food up to the filters.After waste begins to build then people start buying and adding all kinds of mechanical filters to try and bring down nitrates. Research rock work for reef tanks and take the time to set up a good structure.
