Recently redesigned with a black acrylic backing to prevent light from transfering to the main aquarium, each model comes with a powerhead and features a unique baffle system. This prevents the substrate and organisms from being disturbed yet also allows enough water to flow through the eliminate any stagnant areas. The AquaFuge2 provides ideal growth conditions for food items, such as copepods and ampipods, to feed invertebrates and fish in the main tank. It provides a controlled growing area for macroalgae, and provided a "nursery" area for a variety of organisms. In 2011, a new outlet tray was added to improve the water return system. **Please Note: The AquaFuge 2 does not come with a light fixture, although lighting is needed to meet the needs of your refugium inhabitants. Small AquaFuge2 Includes Powerhead Water Capacity: 2.50 Gallons Dimensions: 13" L x 4.5" W x 12" T Medium AquaFuge2 Includes Powerhead Water Capacity: 3.60 Gallons Dimensions: 19" L x 4.5" W x 12" T Large AquaFuge2 Includes Powerhead Water Capacity: 4.70 Gallons Dimensions: 25.5" L x 4.5" W x 12" T Review: Great product - Design: The unit is thoughtfully laid out and will suit the needs of most who may be limited on space requirements. Despite what others have said, once I got a good slime on the output, I have not had any issues with micro-bubbles. Construction: Well built. I have been using one for almost a year with no issues. It certainly looks and feels strong enough to last for a long time. Overall: Excellent product. I would recommend. For anything much larger than a 50 gal(190 L), and decent bio-load, this unit would be very taxed if used as the only filtration method. The small size does limit your in-sump skimmer options. However, if you have a nano setup, there should be a few good options. The only minor negative for me is that if you wish to use mechanical filtration media, the only feasible place to put it is in the inlet chamber and removing the media can get messy. Final thoughts: I've been through several setup iterations with this unit over the year. It's a great place for carbon treatment, to house/introduce new inverts, store heater and other equipment etc. Once you set it up, you will almost forget it's there. Quiet-ish, near hassle free maintenance. Review: Excellent and elegant solution for a HOB refugium. - I've been very happy with this product. I personally would prefer if it was offered both with and without the blacked out acrylic, but in terms of hosting macro algae and providing a sufficient supply of 'pods for my mandarins, it's been fantastic! I've had zero issues with the pump, and I love the amount of extra space and water volume this provides. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001F1ZNOG | | ASIN | B001F1ZNOG | | Best Sellers Rank | #335,986 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #4,874 in Aquarium Filter Accessories | | Brand Name | Aquafuge | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (48) | | Date First Available | June 24, 2004 | | Date First Available | June 24, 2004 | | Included Components | Powerhead | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 25.5 x 4.5 x 12 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 27.8 x 19.25 x 13.46 inches | | Item Weight | 12.45 Pounds | | Item model number | d4821 | | Item model number | d4821 | | Manufacturer | Aquafuge | | Manufacturer | Aquafuge | | Material | Acrylic | | Product Dimensions | 25.5 x 4.5 x 12 inches; 12.45 Pounds | | Specific Uses for Product | Marine Aquarium | | Style | Modern | | Target Audience Keyword | fish | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Aquafuge - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 12.45 Pounds - **Material:** Acrylic - **Product Dimensions:** 25.5"L x 4.5"W x 12"H - **Shape:** Rectangular - **Special Feature:** Lightweight - **Specific Uses For Product:** Marine Aquarium - **Style:** Modern - **Tank Volume:** 4.7 Gallons ## Images ![CPR Aquatic AquaFuge 2 Large Hang-on Refugium (AF2LG) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vV7mGfwmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by W***E on March 5, 2017* Design: The unit is thoughtfully laid out and will suit the needs of most who may be limited on space requirements.

I personally would prefer if it was offered both with and without the blacked out acrylic, but in terms of hosting macro algae and providing a sufficient supply of 'pods for my mandarins, it's been fantastic! I've had zero issues with the pump, and I love the amount of extra space and water volume this provides. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bzzzzz........ *by S***. on April 13, 2012* This could have been a perfect solution for a refugium, but falls short with the crappy pump as explained below. Pros: - Takes up very little space behind the tank thanks to having a narrow and tall profile. - The baffles let you add about a maximum of a 3 inch sand bed. - The front of the refugium is black so light does not escape into the main tank if your running a 24/7 light cycle. - There is an extra inch of acrylic from the water level to place any lights over the refugium without having to worry about salt creep clouding up the lights. - Construction is very sturdy and the design is very well thought out. Cons: - The ViaAqua pump did not come with instructions, but can be found online with a quick search. To the credit of the refugium makers they did include some basic instructions on how to connect the main pump components to the refugium. But if you have to maneuver the pump around and use some of the extra fittings you will have to consult the online instructions for the pump which were still not very helpful. - The ViaAqua pump makes a low level humming/buzzing noise and gets worse if you adjust the flow adapter on a low enough setting. - Does not come with an optional lid to prevent evaporation. ## Frequently Bought Together - CPR Aquatic AquaFuge 2 Large Hang-on Refugium (AF2LG) - Tunze Eco Chic Refugium 8831 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/6692524-cpr-aquatic-aquafuge-2-large-hang-on-refugium-af2lg](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/6692524-cpr-aquatic-aquafuge-2-large-hang-on-refugium-af2lg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
