Refugium  filtration is a natural means of Aquarium filtration which uses Macro algae ( plants) to remove micro nutrients  (disolved organic compounds i.e. Phosphates,Nitrates etc.) from a marine aquarium system. The refugium plants (Cheatomorpha,Caleurpa etc.) use these compounds to grow while successfuly competing w/ unwanted micro algae. The macro algae in a refugium also consume Co2 which effects Aquarium ph in a positive way. The refugium is also a place for Micro fauna such as copepods, amphepods and other Zooplankton (coral food) to grow and reproduce in an environment  with less predation than the main reef tank.

This Page is currently Under Construction. We will be Posting pics of custom and Standard Filtration and Refugium sumps over the years to give you ideas if you are designing your own filter or thinking of purchasing one of our aggressivly priced  standards. We will be adding an F.A.Q. section as soon as possible. In the mean time please feel free to email for quotes,answers and opinions

Some of the pics below are alternative views of our standard Refugium filters.
