[AquaCave]

​

Eshopps introduced their new protein skimmer friendlyrefugium sumps. It comes in three sizes to fit systems from 50 - 300 gal.
Refugiums are one of the most efficient ways of filtration in saltwater aquaria today.
Not only is it a natural way to filter your display tank but it is a sanctuary for micro-organisms to flourish and reproduce.
The Macro-algae used in the refugium will utilize nitrates and phosphates from your water column. These algae’s uses these nutrients to grow and thrive.

What's the best way to quiet down where the return water drops in?

Filter sock that comes with this unit does pretty good job keeping the water from making too much noise.

How much water does the protein skimmer sit in for the R-200 model? (What's the operating water height in the first compartment of the R-200 sump?)

 

[Mr. Roy]

Is there a specific light that goes with this sump for the refugium section? Is there any recommendations for a specific light that would fit this sump?

I own the R-100 model.
I ended up adding a short piece of pipe down into the sock, below water level.
Helped alot!

ON my R-100 model....it's about 10.5" deep when operating.
Can't say specs that call that out are to be found...really.
