hey guys so i made a custom refugium out of plexiglass only problem I’m running into is finding the right pump for this trying to find a pump that will go inside the refugium and pull from a hose in my tank and push into the refugium can’t seem to find anything like that on amazon looking for like two nosels anyone giving one away or no any cheap ones online? Or something really small that’ll go inside my tank but i want to avoid that

Why not just tap into your return pump? Or get a separate pump in your sump to pump water to your refugium?

Why not get your hands on an Aquaclear HOB filter. They are easily converted to a refugium.

Most hob type refugiums use a pump inside the tank to pump water through it and back to the tank.

What about a Tom's Aqualifter? That's the only "pull pump" I can think of. They make a hob cradle for it too
