Water enters through the included powerhead or the slotted sides, passes through the fuge chamber, and returns to the display. Grow chaetomorpha for nutrient export, culture pods that feed mandarins and wrasses, or use it as a recovery box for an injured fish or a coral frag that needs a break from tankmates.
