Fuge water flow

[bckane]

Finishing up the plumbing on my 30 gal refugium......I wanted to get more water flow then my last setup so this is what I came up with...still have to add the inlet and ball valve......the 45's are adjustable.......plan on having a 6" sand bed.....comments....TIA

the point of a refeugium is not having more if so having les water flow and use a close loop for flow

Maybe I could have reworded it a little better......my last refugium project I only had one inlet and wasnt getting a good circulation......so my cheato would get nasty brown.....so I was told to add more circulation....so what I meant was better cirulation Not More Flow....my BAD

nice job brian! the most ideal way of having your fuge is to have the chaeto actually tumbling in the section


i probably wouldnt even bother glueing any of those, i doubt it would leak tat much to cause a loss of flow, and there isnt any pressure on them.

I never knew that, guess I'll throw a powerhead into it to help it flow better. Mine just sits there and does nothing. However I do see lot of life in it no matter if the lights are on or off.
