Hob Foggie:)

[Shooter000]

Well I've been thinking about making or getting @J_T to make a 2-3 gallon hob fuge for my 44g, just wanting to add a little more life to the tank, get some macro's to help out with nitrates and any bad algae growth that may happen..

Thinking a 12"x4.5"x12" should do the trick, maybe something like this

Any thoughts?¿

Very cool idea. It would be great with some macro and pods would go nuts back there.

I always liked the idea of the finnex HOB refugium. The new ones come with the water pump instead of air driven lift, as well as a few options for light. Might be worth checking out. Cheapest I've found was amazon.com, and they ship to Canada.
Oops...Just checked and apparently its unavailable right now on there.....

Was already looking,lol, but pricey for me when I could make something similar just not as top notch quality, maybe JT will have a better price for me

We used to use the largest aquaclear waterfall filter since they were often available cheap. IMO filling a space that size with bio-cubes might be more effective for nutrient control than a small amount of macro. FWIW when I was experimenting with a bag of bio-cubes in one overflow, it was constantly swarming with pods and mysis to the point that I kept it in place for food propagation even after I transitioned to a pellet reactor for nutrient control.

Just get a square bucket and drill hooks on it to hang on the back, or cut the wire handle and make hooks out or it. Under $10 and easy to drill and put fittings on it. It's going to be hidden on the back of the tank right?

I've only got 4 3/4 " behind my tank, so it needs to be slim, no deeper than a HOB reef octopus

It Can be made to be 2 feet long if need be though, that would put it to the 3.5-4 gallon Mark..
