Refugium Tank Setups Information
Whether you buy or build one, a refugium tank or other type of setup is easy to install or add on to an existing aquarium to provide a safe haven for sessile invertebrates and other delicate species, as well as prevent the over-predation of desirable macroalgaes, tiny beneficial crustaceans, such as copepods and amphipods, or other things you may be cultivating.

From your About Host-Guide Don Carner, Don explains what a refugium is, how to plumb and put one together, what lighting to use and what you can place inside of it.
From Dogs Reef Pages website, Scott Wilson shares a very nice diagram of his reef tank sump set up that has a refugium built in, along with some photo images and general information about the whole layout.
From the OZ Reef Marine Park DIY Plans Index, DBW gives instructions for building a simple in-tank refugium constructed of egg crate and plastic cable ties. Total cost - only about $4.00.
