Hello all!

I'm trying to gauge what everyone thinks of "Hang on" options for the sump in the Reefer 250 as the sump itself is really not set up appropiratly.

Large CITR3 Pro DX In-Tank Refugium

The CITR3 Pro’s versatility and ease of use make it a valuable addition to any aquarium. You can use the CITR3 as a refugium to improve filtration by growing and harvesting macroalgae, as a designated space for cultivating small organisms like copepods and amphipods as food, or even as an...

Never used one either. Both of those are tiny. What are you wanting to do with them? Want pods. Fill a plastic jar with rubble and make some holes around the bottom. Sink it in the sump. You have to feed them.
Macro algae? Exposing your sump to light to get macros to grow opens a whole new world of messy algae growth everywhere the light reaches.

My refugium is a separate 29 gallon tank with its own lighting, overflow and return pump. I understand you don't want that but that is how I overcame the problems of having one.

I dont use any that you have listed as I needed a external HOB option. More room in DT.
I use a large CPR with red light, and MJ1200 for water in. External HOB. Works perfect (for my cheato growing needs)....pretty much zero maintanence.
