I'm about ready for a full harvest, if anyone wants any. Mostly cup macro, but have other types too.

the macro is ready to go whenever you guys can stop by, come get all you want, I usually pull out about 3-4 gallons worth.

Also, I do have a bit of pink xenia to give away, you can come and get that too... there's not much of it though (thankfully for me), like 6-7 large stalks.

What kind of stuff (besides macroalgea) should I think about putting in the refuge?

It's always good to put some good porus live rock in it.

I've got this 1 1/4" tubing that dumps from the overflow into the tank. Is there anything I can put on the end of this to direct the flow? Right now if I mount it the way I want to, the flow goes straight down and kicks up sand. I'd like something with a 90ยบ bend and a flared tip. Does that exists?

put a 90 on it, and boil the elbow, or use a hair dryer / heatgun, and when it's really hot, crimp it mostly closed... it'll retain shape when it cools... this works REALLY well with PVC pipe...

Thanks for the kickstart to the refugium Shagman!!! I really appreciate it. I only wish I could have seen the tank with the lights on. That is a really nice setup you have there.

we finally got the lights in today; it's a little purple for my taste, but it'll be MUCH better on heat/electricity, plus I no longer have to run fans, or a dehumidifier in the winter... we'll see how it goes!
