    Cycling a Refugium

    Arvin, Sorry if I missed this above, what is in the fuge? Will it have sand or rock or macro when you bring it online? All of the above? Some of the above? Or are you just connecting it with water only and adding the other things later? I would be comfortable adding new saltwater if it was...

    How many pounds?

    Me too! Mine works, and it all comes down to how you manage the system as a whole. I'm not about to get into a Bomber vs Shimek debate here. The important thing is if you like the look of your tank, you'll maintain it. So go with what looks good to you, Wendy. I have a 75 gallon mixed reef lit...
