After the meeting at Mojo's I decided to build a setup with things I had laying around.
This is my new night stand. Its setup right buy my bed just because I love the sound of water.
The only things I had to go out and buy was some plumbing and a new bulb for the refugium light. I also need to buy some aragonite sand for my sump and some macro algae to grow and a skimmer if I decide to go that route. Everything else came out of my 55g
Lighting is a phoenix 14k (really a 20k). Its a pretty close replica of what the color really is. Its very blue. Im going to add T5's to it to balance out the blue.
This is my 25 cube I built last year. Its been setup and tore down a few times. I decided to put it to some good use. For circulation I have a mag7 in the sump which is throttled down for some nice slow flow through the fuge. I have a modded maxijet 1200 in the back mounted to the center brace pointing down for some serious flow up top. Im probably going to put it on a timer in the future if I cant find a nano korilla or tunze cheap. I have a korilla 4 if anybody wants to trade. It cant be on all the time cuz I have all kinds of frags in there and most dont like high flow. But I think they'll do okay if I have it on and off for 5 min. at a time.
Pretty basic sump. Right now there is xenia frags in the middle. I dont know if theyll be able to handle the light but I'll find out. It'll also have macro in there as soon as I find some. I would really like to grow out the blue and red macro's, but its too cold to have them shipped in right now.
