Refugium critters? - Reef Central Online CommunityGet a couple of nassarius snails for it. They bury in the sand when not feeding and will keep the sand from getting stagnant pockets.
Hmm I was thinking more along the lines of a mantis shrimp or pistol shrimp you know something that can't really be kept in your reef display tank
well if you want use it as a mini display tank (awesum idea) then dont call it a refugium. you could easily set up the tank with macro algaes, let the pods grow to large proportions and then add a pair of flag tail pipe fish as a display. the macro aølgaes will still be there for nutrient export, if you have a well established pod population they should sustain themselves against the predation of the pipe fish and you should still have some pods going over into the main display. But thats def NOT a refugium.Lol I know but I have my refugium situated like a display tank so people can view it I just want something that won't kill my pods
well, in my remote DSB / refugium 220L tank, I got 2 Cerianthus anemones, 1 long spine urchin, 2 short spine. 1 Babelonian whelk, 2 Strombidae snails, 4 Yellow ring cowries. 2 slightly bigger Caputserpentis cowries. 2 small hermits and some Nerita snails. And by default, lots and lots of copepods and micro bristle stars and bristle worms. And 5 small sand anemones, disc about R1 coin size
