To be honest almost all refugiums are too small.
Best item for growing chaeto fast are these circular LED lit cylinders copied after the Pax Bellum item.

The HOB would be a good pod hatchery

@IowaReefer they do make good pod hatcherys.
I've used the large CPR HOB refugium before. It was perfect for a little 30g tank. Wouldn't be anywhere near enough for a 100g tank. I've also used a 20H for a refugium. I drilled a hole in the back and installed an overflow box. Filled it with several inches of sand and a ball of cheato the size of a basketball. Let it overflow into the return section of my sump. |

It would help to know why you want a refugium and what you want to accomplish with it.
