Hang-On Refugium

Does anyone have the CPR Hang-On Refugium?

I'm thinking about setting up a refugium to support my 75 gallon reef and this product seems to be pretty much all-inclusive..

Thanks...

I've only built one refugium but it works perfectly and I would never buy one, unless you want it to be seen and then the professional models are nice. Mine is just a rubbermaid dishpan that sits above my sump. Put a bulkhead in it, plumb a pump inlet to it and voila!! refugium! It cost me about 12 dollars in parts. I had an extra PC ballast so there are two PCs above it also.

it will be in plain view. (off the side of my tank)

there really isn't room anywhere else.

I would make one myself, would be a fun diy project

Yeah I agree. Go look at a professional model and you can just bulid your own. You can make it the exact dimensions you need that way. Not to diss their products in general, but I've heard CPR overflows have a habit of failing when air bubbles collect in the siphon and the pump sucking them out fails.

I had the smallest version of the CPR refugium. It did the job well but I went for a bigger homemade version for my current tank. I do plan on using the CPR ref for when my wife sets up a sea horse tank.
