Hello everyone,
I have been away from the hobby for about 4 years now and I cant believe how much has changed. The more I read, the more I realize I dont know.
So I set up my 46 bow in the front living room just to get my feet wet again. I would like to have a small reef tank (coral stock very light) and a few small fish.
I built a 10 fuge that fit nicely underneath. However my house is very dry and after trying different remedies I was losing entirely too much water. The result was having to add water daily to keep from having ton of air bubbles pumped up from the return. With my schedule I am just not home everyday and could not keep up with it. That idea was scrapped.
Now I have a Aquaclear 70 and my old trusty Red Sea prism protein skimmer I will just use as HOB's. I also have a couple of circulation pumps. Questions I have....
Should I modify the AC70 to a small refugium? (great thread on RC to do this as a DIY) Or should I use as is with the included foam pad and maybe some chemipure (or any other type of inserts)?
Any questions/suggestions are encouraged.
Thank you,
Copper
PS The coral will not be added for at least 3 months or more
