Ideas for a refugium for a 28g nano cube?

O sorry I meant the mechanical sponge not the carbon. Do I rinse that out if I have a fuge?

 

I have the 29 gal Biocube as well. In the bottom my center chamber is extra live rock. Above the rock I have chaeto, lit by the little jbj magnet nano light set to the alternate light schedule of my display lights. above the chaeto is a little tray that I put a little carbon and filter floss on. that is my whole filter process. seems to be working great. i thought I'd want a skimmer, but so far I don't see the need.

 

Ok also like corraline was saying how I couldnt grow brine shrimp with this idea. Well how would I be able to grow them if I did do this though?

 

anyone?

 

I am interested in this question too. If someone can answer it will help me out a lot too.

 

You don't grow them in the tank.Brine Shrimp Hatcheries: San Francisco Bay Brand Shrimpery Kits
Also I think you are confusing brine shrimp with amphipods i am sure that is what you saw at the lfs. They look similar. Also brine shrimp have almost no nutritional value and frozen misis is a much better choice.

 

are amphipods good for your fish and am I able to grow mysis shrimp. O one more thing. Do the amphipods appear natturally?

 

Amphipods usually come in on the rock and/or chaeto. Fish will eat them & it's fine for them.

 

How big do these amphipods get?
