Ok, so I have a 10 gallon refugium currently. It really doesn't have separate compartments. I did have it 3rd'd off with filter media but it seemed like too much junk was getting trapped in it.
So I removed the 2 filter media and put my Algae into breeding basket as a temporary band aid.
Now I am ready to insert glass panels BUT i'm not sure how many for each partition, etc.
ADVICE Appreciated
The first Left chamber will contain the return from the tank above and the skimmer.
Middle chamber just Algae
Third chamber, just return pump
I was thinking the first partition would be 2 pieces of glass; leftmost at the bottom so water flows over, one inch right of that another panel raised one inch (water flows under)
Then another double panel for the 2/3 partition - leftmost raised one inch, rightmost flush with the bottom
diagram below I = on bottom ! = raised
overflow/ skimmer I ! Algae ! I return pump
Thanks!
