    I think the next video could be a break down of each size of reef casa aquariums, along with prices and lights that come with it.
    You guys are one of the only aquarium sellers that have a genuine care of saving people money and it is awesome. Selfishly I want this video because I want to see the breakdown because I want to buy one from you guys I want to see your favorite styles. Would love to support your growing brand y’all got this!

    I am so grateful for March from Fragbox for making this video at the precise time I was looking for the perfect light for a little refugium I put together for my 35 gallon cube tank. My tank is not an AIO tank. I use an overflow box to get water down into my sump inside my cabinet. My sump is pretty small and fits inside my cabinet. Half of my sump is dedicated to the bio media chamber and the second half houses my Protein skimmer, heater & my return pump. I also have a UV sterilizer and an ATO reservoir tucked inside my cabinet. I don't have any more room to house a refugium inside the cabinet. I did some internet surfing and UA-cam exploring and came up with a solution to add a refugium.
    I purchased an Aqua Clear 70 Hang on back filter assembly and installed a (In tank brand) acrylic media basket to create separate chambers inside the HOB assembly. In the 1st chamber I stuffed it with filter floss to keep garbage out of the chaeto and bio media. The 2nd chamber houses the bio media that came with the filter. To keep all of the bio media together i put it in some little mesh zipper bags. Then the third chamber houses the Chaeto. I also added some live cope pods in with the Chaeto. I purchased one of the Nova refugium lights from Reef Casa/FragBox Corals to provide the photosynthesis power. To keep the refugium light from spilling into the room i used some black duct tape to cover the outside of the Aqua Clear 70. I feel this will make the light inside the refugium very concentrated for more effective growth and nutrient removal.
    The Nova refugium light is not programmable, so I purchased a smart plug from Amazon. The smart plug connects to my home wifi. I set up everything from my phone. The refugium light to comes on when the tank light shuts down and to turns off when the tank light comes back on for the day.

    I think I agree with most - would love to hear all your reefing origin stories and also would love a full rundown on the reef casa line. Also, I would LOVE to see a video of you guys reacting to other videos! Especially if you’re reacting to people’s videos of tank issues they’re having.
    I’ve learned so much from this channel and after 3 years in reefing, I still love soaking up as much knowledge as possible. There’s always more to learn and I credit a lot of my knowledge to you guys!

    Love you guys so much! Your videos have helped me out over the years and pushed my interest so much into the hobby! I would love to see you guys do a tank build/showdown between you guys! Feture the reef Casas, and follow the builds from your take on everything from scape to pumps to lighting all the way down to the fish and coral additions. Explain why you do this how it benifits the tank and its inhabitants. Really create a educational and inspiring journey for not only the viewers but yourself as well. Really make these tanks a representation of why you love the hobby, truly remind yourself why you do what you do!

    I was wondering if you could put a fuge in the back of a AIO tank! This is exactly what I want to do since I took my skimmer out and I have a free chamber now. I'm trying to maximize habitat for my microfauna so I have really extensive rockwork with tonnes of caves as habitat for my fish too. Also it'd be cool if you went more in depth about macroalgae varieties as a supplement to this video! I'm already super attracted to the red ones so it's cool to know that they have a benefit.❤ Thanks for making rad videos!
