I do not have a sump and I want to add a refugium. What is a good hob refugium to buy. Is the AquaFuge any good. My tank is a 65g. If I grow some macroalgea in the refugium do I need to have a seperate light above the fuge or will the display lights be enough. I have 380w of vho. (T12) Any input is appreciated. Thanks:bum:

All the hang ons are about the same, imo. They are so small, that the benifit will be minimum.

I have an aqufuge medium on my 46 and it helps. I use it just for growning chaeto. I would say you do need an extra light but something cheap will work fine. It helps keep algae out of the display and helps keep the nitrates down(not as good as say 20 gallon fuge but it alot better than nothing). I painted mine on all sides so I can run at night to help keep the PH from bouncing around.
