 Can I use part of my proclear wet/dry filter as a refugium? I have the 150 model. And im talking about using the first section of the filter as a refugium instead of a protein skimmer. Will this work or am I really confused on something? What will I have to do to do this? Also I have a different skimmer so I will be using one still. Here is a Link to the Proclear website, I have the 150 model. Pro Wet Dry  |

| Re: Can I use part of my proclear wet/dry filter as a refugium? yeah, i dont see why not. you would need a light though. something wiht 6500k or higher would be fine. add some plants and a little sand, and your good to go!
