Plumb the tank into your display. Instant refugium.

Swap out the cualepra for cheatomorphia.

I have a little HOB fuge that holds 6 gals water. I got it crammed with small pieces of LR, 2" live sand and a big chunk of Cheato. Small 70gph pump in the display tank pumps into the fuge and the out to the fuge runs back into the tank. Got an 18w light over the top of it. Dont even know its there most of the time. Tank is full of copepods.

MMMM...the mighty copepod...

This stuff is just too cool!

Mine are free! And they reproduce themselves! The little fuge adds a little more water to my system as well as about 10-15lbs of rock for filtration as wellas a great place to lose some of those nitrates.

Since I have started dosing phytoplankton and Zooplex the pods have increased and got BIGGER!
