Title: DIY Overflow and Refugium
Post by: DragonMungo on November 03, 2013, 12:40:22 AM

Hello everyone.  I had to build a custom refugium because of the space under my tank was small.  It is too narrow for even a 10 gallon tank.  Here is what I made for my tank.  <img src="http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b544/drago776/DSC_0183_zps16e110e1.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSC_0183_zps16e110e1.jpg"/>[/url]

here is another pic of it setup.  I just have the old filters in it right now don't have the substrate for it yet.

Cool project. Did you seal between the panes or just place them all together and seal the inside corners?

I sealed at least one side of all the panes including the bottoms
