Hi Mike and Welcome to Reefs.org! 8)

I think what you're looking for is called a CPR AquaFuge. Basically it's a refugium that hangs on the back of your tank. Take a look at it here:

Is that what you're looking for?

I have one for my 30 gallon. the tank cycled with it on the whole time.
sorry about the confusion i want to ad a refuge to a fully cycled tank how would i do that without killing all the inhabitant. i have an SPS nano that i want to add the refuge to

thanks

just hang it on the back, then add enough new salt water to bring the tank level back to normal.

I built one for under $30 for my 10 gal. Pretty simple. Just a box with an in and an out. Pump water in slowly, water drains back into the tank.

You shouldn't get ANY cycle from adding a refugium to the tank. I think that when that happened before some other factors must have been at work there.

What did you put in it the time when it kept cycling??

I cycled the two togather at the same time at enitial set up
once again sorry for the confusion.

i think i will go with what Bingo told me to do

thanks for the replys
