What exactly are these? Also how do you set one up and what are they exactly used for?
 
Nothing but a area/tank with macro algae and a haven for pods and such. Can be done with a huge tank or a HOB filter. They are a good for filtration and a place for pods to flourish with no predators.
 
They are also good because the Macro algea that is in them will get rid of excess nutrients that help to fuel bad algeas in your tank.
 
Dont know that I should even try to answer your question but here are some good links.. *hope this is allowed

Havent read much about HOB refugiums but will post more of a reply when I read the forum rules again :roll:
