    You cant really "store" them. By providing a fuge with lots of live rock for them to have a safe place with no fish, they will just reproduce and getting sucked into the tank.

    on my over flow it splits one side goes to a ball valve and the refuge and the other side goes into the sump. The refuge drains into the middle and so does the sump. From there I use the return pump to get it back to the tank.

    what about them? some will get sucked up and some wont, the ones that dont will keep reproducing in my 100 gallon rubber maid fuge theres million in there. What i did was when i got the fuge going i went to a LFS and bought 3 small containers of pods to "seed" the fuge, since then i havent needed to go back nor will i ever
