The Complete Guide to Hang-On Equipment for Your Reef Tank

http://mdshop.us/2nIb9Zp Using a sump to filter your aquarium is the most effective way to employ high-performance filtration gear and increase the overall water volume of your aquarium but we realize this is not an option for everybody. Sumps can be bulky, expensive and will require a bit of experience with plumbing to set up properly. That is precisely why hang-on style aquarium equipment can be a real lifesaver! Especially for those of you building a tank on a budget or looking to move beyond your all-in-one nano but are not quite comfortable installing a sump system. Today we'll take a closer look at all the cool hang-on equipment available for reef tanks. Save space in your tank and hang on a protein skimmer, media reactor, calcium reactor, or refugium!

I see 2 FR-SE on the website, what is the benefit of the more expensive one?
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies - 6 years ago
We do have a kit that includes the tubing and pump which is required to operate the reactor. This would be the more expensive option of the two and you get everything you need to get the reactor running less the filter media of your choice.

I was thinking about getting a big AquaClear and put some macro algae in, basically making a mini refugium. Do you think that could work? I have a IM Nuvo 30L
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies - 6 years ago
Yes, the large filter chamber will work as a refugium just be sure to provide some lighting. We have some great options for lighting you can check out below.

can you have a refugium in an all in one tank?
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies - 6 years ago
Yes, the location of the refugium is the question. You can modify one of the chambers in the back or utilize a hang-on type refugium such as the CPR or AquaMaxx Filter in this video.

what size tank would you recommend me for a hippo tang?
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies - 6 years ago
75 Gallons is a good starting point and you want at least a 48" long aquarium. Something in the range of 150+ gallons is best for the long term health of the Tang.

I second the request for a full review video on the AquaMaxx HF-M...please! Would love to see it in operation. How does it hang on the back of the tank? Can you still hang a light bracket on the back of the tank also? How small of a tank will this unit work on? Thanks!

AndrewsAmazing REEF I got the 30L and I love it, and if your in a budget id suggest heading to eBay to find some galaxyhydro 165watt LEDs, not the greatest, but cost effective and you can grow most corals if you can tune the settings correctly. Good luck!!

YES I'm trying to setup a 40 gallon cube and I was thinking about the innovative marine 40 fusion but am on a budget
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies - 6 years ago
We will consider this! So far, the filter looks to be really promising. Thanks for watching and appreciate your suggestion.

Can the Aqua Maxx HOB work on my Innovative Marine Fusion 20?
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies - 6 years ago
The AquaMaxx HOB will not be a good fit for the Fusion 20 because to filter chambers are just too small. We actually have a great video all about different upgrades for this tank and you can check that out below.

HOB calcium reactor?! Hilarious!

As far as the CPR Aqufuge 2 large version goes, can it be detrimental to having 40 pounds of water, plus, the weight of the unit itself, hanging off the glass? Can it pull too much on the glass? I have a 93 gallon RR cube that's 30 inches long. Just wondering if larger units like this can pose a problem pulling the glass outwards on a constant basis?
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies
Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies - 6 years ago
This is a great point and a valid concern. While I have never once heard of this happening because of the CPR hang-on Refugiums it is possible if the aquarium is not built to withstand the extra pressure. I would only be concerned on a rimless tank with thin glass. I also read through all of the documentation from CPR and did not see any sort of warnings or specifications in regards to this.

Thank you I'm just trying to work out how much it will cost me to get them delivered to Ireland as there aren't any shops here that offer as much equipment for the aquarist as Marine Depot does.Things really are bigger and better in the USA.
