Called CPR and they stated all you need is 18" The Oceanic is 18.75" on the backside?

Has anyone stuck a Medium CPR Aquafuge on a 30 gallon Oceanic cube?

If yes, how do you like it?

I might order it today.

Thanks,

In case anyone is curious, I just ordered one. Will post the fit results.

Maybe some pictures as well.

Should have it in a few days.

FYI

The medium fits 100% perfect on the long side of the 30 g cube. The small Aquafuge will 100% be needed if you plan on placing on the short side. Will send pictures when I have it setup, only spent a few minutes confirming my impulsive buy would fit last night on receiving it.

I am thinking of doing the refugium mod to a ac 110 i have laying around for a 40 stretch hex im building....anyone think this will benefit or is it to small to make an impact? (too small of refugium that is)

mister crabs, been doing much reading on refugiums for the last few weeks. Would say a refugium on the AquaClear Mod for the 40 gallon hex would be a great addition.

Ocean In A Box, I'm currently in the middle of staining my custom stand. Can only work on during the weekends, so this is a long process for me. So far so good. Have rock ready in my other tanks, Chaeto, Live Sand, Remoras and now the refugium. May have it up by the end of this weekend, will post build and setup picks as soon as it's up.

Had to build a customized extension to my existing table to hold new tank. Let me know if interested and I'll post build picts on how I did it.

End result as of last night.

That tank looks amazing. Did you transfer water and rocks and fish from another tank?

Thank you so much Ocean In A Box and cinematek,

Yes, I had a 37 gallon FOWLR hex and a 10 gallon nano reef that I broke down last night.

Next thing to do is drill my Remora skimmer box to hide the mag pump. Need to drill to ensure the skimmer won't run dry if the water level gets a little low. The mag pump is just so big. I have been thinking of placing a regular Remora on the cube as the mag pump is rather huge.

Took me a few weeks to gather all the parts for this build and complete the 8" extension to my existing table that was holding the 10 gallon.
