Refugium and stuff needed

[JCnflies]

Hi Guys. I am a new member that attended my first meeting about the seahorses. I have sold off all of my cichlid stuff and am starting a reef tank. (75 gallon).

I am looking for a 30 gallon or other good size refugium (it must fit under a 4 ft by 18 inch stand. I am also looking for the essentials that I need to complete both the refugium and the tank. If you have anything that is in very good shape and want a few bucks for what you no longer need, I am interested

In case you need to know, I am getting live rock in about two weeks. I ma looking at Marshall Island unless you let me know that is a big mistake.

Thanks in advance for all of the help

I have a perfect sump with a built in refugium for a 75g tank. Unfortunately, it's not a DIY sump and it's pricey.
The sump was originally customed ordered from MRC through Tony (reef exotics) by a former member that got out of the hobby.
He had it in use for 6 months before breaking down his system. He paid $365 for it and it was custom from their stock size to fit under an Oceanic 75g stand (from the back side).
I bought it from him planning to swap out my DIY 30g sump but I got lazy and the sump is still sitting here.
This link shows what the sump looks like but the original purchaser had the sump customed to 30"Lx16"Wx16"H.

I had to lug the sump home and clean it out since it was still running.
If this is what your looking for, I'm just looking for what I paid which was $245.

Depending on what I have to pay for the other stuff, I could be interested. I'm n ot sure I see a long section devoted to live sand.......

Refugium area on this sump measures 17"x7".
The nice aspect of a commercial built sump like this is that it factors in a true low flow refugium area.
The flow is dictated by the size powerhead that you attach via hosing to the drilled in bulkhead.
All DIY sumps that incorporate a center refugium has as much flow as your return pump produces.
