quick question for al you 'fugers, does it make sense to have a fuge and a wet/dry? i have the potential for a fuge, and i have an extra wet/dry. this is for a 55 reef with a couple small fish and misc crabs and snails. for coral i have mushrooms and some colony polyps as well as some zoos.

i ran one when i started mine but after tiem went by i didnt see a need for it so off it came and no problems yet

Are you running a caulerpa refugium or other algae? whats the specs? I have a refugium protein skimmer combo I keep the refugium lit 24h a day and grow just caulerpa racemosa works great!

I would not use it on your set-up. If you had a large tank with large fish such as groupers or sharks i would recommend both but on a 55 with a light stcok of fish a Fuge is all you really need.

a refugium is a seperate tank from the main tank but shares the water. it de-nitrafies the water and provides a place for organisms to grow that feed corals. i dont think there is anything else, some one can add to the list if necessary.
