I want to get a Refuguim for my 30gl tank. I know (well think i know) what a refuguim is but, what can you guys tell me about it/them. And what do you think a good Refuguim (if one) is for me?
Thank you

A refugium is simply a "refuge" for growing macroalgae and organisms that would otherwise not last in the main tank.
You make one by hooking up another container of water to the main tank via a return pump and/or gravity. You can also hide things like heaters/skimmers in there.
You can make one out of an old tank, have a custom acrylic one or even use a AC500 HOB filter.
It depends on the size of your main tank, but generally the bigger the better.
