Remote Deep Sand Bed or Refugium
« on: January 01, 2012, 16:39:31 »
Not sure now.

Do I paint the entire 30 gallon breeder black (put a lid on it and turn it into a remote DSB or have it as a refugium?

Both with feed back into the sump via gravity.

Was going to use the 30 gallon breeder as a Remote DSB and use a sump that is designed built for a refugium as my refugium.

30 gallon is roughly 36" (L) X 18" (W) x 12" (T)  no baffels just plumbed
Sump for refugium is 17" (L) x 12" (W) x 15" (T)  has baffels and is plumbed

Just not sure if its more benefical to have a bigger refugium or a bigger remote sand bed. or are they close enough in size that it doesnt matter
