I've used this on my Bow tank and I think they're great, all you need to do is add a Lee's Counter Current Skimmer in the first compartment and you have a full filtration fuge system.

i have the large one on my sumpless 29; worth every penny.
i'd replace the Rio pump it comes with, i have a maxi 600 powering mine

i've always wanted to do one of those... i think they look really cool as well as being extremely functional.

loyalty - any chance you could post a picture of yours?

I have the small version on the back of my 29g. I have a 10g sump, but couldn't use it as a refugium because of the skimmer. So the Aquafuge works perfect as a refugium. My chaeto grows like crazy in it.

paladin - do you have it hooked up to your display, or to your sump? i dont really have space for one on my display, but i'm seriously thinking about plumbing one into my sump.

I have it hooked up to the display. And when you say you don't have space for it, do you mean there's not enough room behind the tank?

I am very interested in one of these for my 25 gallon sea horse tank... so please post pictures if you have them.

im setting up a 37 and plan on sealing the intake, and having the outflow on my hob remora skimmer dump water into it

I was planning on using this as my source of filtration/water movement.

I have a HOB filter customized into a fuge/filter. It produces (or atleast should) enough water flow for my future 2 sea horses and goby as well a means of keeping macro.

Do you think this aquafuge would be alright for flow? Or should I get a pump to stick in the tank also?

Thanks
