I am setting up another tank and wanted to see if anyone had any comments or thoughts on this setup. I took a JBJ 28G HQI tank and added the small 2G CPR refugium to the back. (I saw one other internet person who's done this.) The refugium pump is actually a little big to go in the rear chambers. It was taken off the refugium and now sits in the bottom of chamber 2 and connects back to the refugium through a hose. So the little pump now has to raise the water about 8 inches, but I have been told that the pump flow is typically too strong. I feel that this set up gets me a refugium to help with the main tank, while giving me a little water surface to cool off with a fan. Because of three children in the house I like have the tank top on, since so far they've only thrown coco puffs and wooden trains into the tanks. The tank is now a little tight for a skimmer. I aggressively change water though and could try and squish the skimmer back in if necessary. Any thoughts? Actually, anyone have one of those little pico CF light fixtures before I go to shopping for a little light in a few weeks?
