HOB Fuge F/S

[nanoreefer22]

I have a HOB fuge that I no longer have the use for. I'll clean it up and everything before pick up. Comes with the pump as well. Asking $25.

Thanks

What are the measurements??

 

[nanoreefer22]

12inches high x 12 inches long x 4 inches wide.

Hmmm... I'm very tempted; I could probably get rid of my Fluval if I got this thing. How exactly do these things work as HOB? Don't they need lighting independent of the tank?

 

[nanoreefer22]

Well you hang it on the back of the tank, the pump takes water from the tank, puts it into the fuge, and then it comes out at the other end.

They do need an extra light. What I did was go to HD buy a $3 fixture and one of those energy saver bulbs for $8 and that was my fuge light. It clamps on and makes lighting it up easy. I still have it and could throw it in for $5.

Kuya, If Dmitry passes on it, your next in line. I'll let you know.

Thanks,

Sold! Nice meeting you Dmitry. Let me know how it works out for you.

I wonder how many people that refug is going to go to when all is said and done.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Well this makes three.

 

[Dmitry]

Thanks Kris! It was good meeting you also.

Who used the fuge first?? Kris gave me some chaeto in a bag and during transit the water leaked from the bag and got all over the light. I assume it's not really water-proof...? Or should be ok once dried out? This being salt-water and all. And how essential is around-the-clock light for it anyway?

For a while after I put the fuge on I was all worried about my Clowns who made their home behind the out- and in-take tubes of the Fluval, which I removed. They wobbled around for a while, but have moved in behind the pump of the fuge now. I was sort of hoping they'd go to the other side of the tank where the anemone is! But they didn't. Grr...

Hmmmm...These HUGE letters are starting to get to me...hehe...

Marrone was the first to use the fuge, then it was off to my plane, and now its in your hands.

How much water leaked out? I'm not sure if it's going to work or not. Hmmm....someone should know.

Clowns will be clowns i guess.
