Question on "Hang On" Refugiums

[DevIouS]

I have a 55 gal.
Would it be OK to use one of those "hang on" type.....or are they to small?
My stand doesn't have too much room in the bottom, so I'm considering one if they can serve it's function.

Thanks in advance!

An Aqua-C Remora should work if you don't have a heavy fish bio-load.

Any help is good help. You can get a big one and it will do a bunch of good (depending what you put in it.)
I built one for my 7 gal bow. It ran about $20 for everything.

Thanks for the advise....fellas.

Dean:
An Aqua C as a fuge?
I have one as my skimmer now.
Never thought of converting a skimmer in to a fuge.

BTW...I'm giving you a call tomorrow.

Sorry, that's what I get for not reading the WHOLE title. Ignore my post.

I should be home Tues after 6pm.

Ha-ha....

cpr bak paks arent all that bad either

 

[DevIouS]

As a skimmer....they're really good.
It pulled out alot for me.
Twice a week, I would have to empty the cup.

With the Aqua C, the skim is thicker & darker.
It's also much more quiet than the CPR.
The cup only fills up once a week though.

Just trying to find out if those hang on fuges would be a good enough size for my 55.....

Dean had me gassed & I was ready to turn my CPR into a fuge.

 

[Deanos]

Well, CPR makes a 36" Aquafuge which would hang nicely on the back of your 48" tank. If you can't buy one locally or get it made, eBay has actual CPRs as well as knockoffs for less than $100.00.

Yea....
That's what I was thinking.
I might go for it.

the cpr has a overflow box that works nice also
