Simple DIY Refugium

[Juano908]

For those looking for ideas on an essay to build and for cheap refugium here is one that I just built.
Went to Walmart and grabbed a trash can that fits perfectly in my 40B sump, ordered some Uniseal from Amazon and the pipes and PVC part had them laying around.
The right side is the inlet and the left side is the outlet, top cutting is where the grow light goes of course.

Great idea!!! What pump will you be using to feed it?

Yep, you can fill it up with live rocks too or mix of live rocks and macro algae, very safe place for pods to live and reproduce.
