show me some nice refuge

[nava405]

i'm thinking to do a 18" cube refuge for my 120gal SPS tank, but i want to make it to an nice show refuge instead of dirty algae tank. However, i have never done it before, so i would love to see some pictures if anyone have a nice Macroalgae/Grass tank and works as good as refuge. Thank you all. :)

The fuge is for macros, and a safe home for critters.

Halopyila's seagrass tank (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=620824) and a lot of different refugiums here (http://images.google.ca/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&q=macroalgae+refugium&btnG=Search+Images) , just ignore in-sump kinds. More - on this forum, walking down the threads (don't have a links at the hand, sorry).
This one (http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t85082.html) is most efficient, allows to keep a high bioload.
Don't have a link, but when I searched Image Search for a DIY stand, there was photo of the big tank in the middle, and right next to it, left and right, slightly higher, than main tank, macroalgae refugium and high tank for a small fish, decorated as ship wreck (if memory serves). Creates the one display complex, quite nice.

I'm also in process of making macroalgae refugium with CaribSea Live sand - for nitrates reduction and for unfit fish. Basically, will be a couple of LR groups and red, green and blue algae, bold spots of color.

If you havent seen it yet check the Reef Tour link in this thread. Charles lives and dives in the Philipines and has done a wonderful job documenting some of the coral reef and seagrass area near where he lives.
