combination refugium/ wet dry system


Has anyone ever made a combination wet dry/ refugium system or ever heard of one. I was thinking about building one with the refugium in front of the wet dry. with a large tank I thing I could do both with one system. Can anyone think of why this would or would not work. Any Ideas

Re: combination refugium/ wet dry system

This can and will work. You could have the refuge flowing to the wet/dry via gravity. My uncle has this exact setup in his. He added a Y in the line from the overflow. Then controled the flow to the refuge with a ball valve.
