I've been kicking around the idea of adding a fuge. I have a stock room full of hang on filters, including an AquaClear 500. I am currently running a gutted Skilter 250, just for activated carbon. ( I removed the skimmer section.)
What is the basic concept you have recommended for creating a fuge out of a hang-on unit? I also have a small compact florescent lighting system that would easily mount on top of a hang-on filter.
In an ideal, no cost world, I would add some live rock rubble from the bottom of my aquarium to the bottom of the existing gutted skilter filter. Then mount the compact florescent unit.
How would you approach this situation?
