super small refugium

uurt · 09-07-2002, 04:31 PM

I bought this little goldfish tank thing. It's a 1gal acrylic tank, came with a U/G (took it out), air pump, stone, tubing. I was going to use it for brine shrimp but it sure is tempting to make it a refug. Any opinions?????
thx in adv

u must have postd while i was bumping.

neway i have decided to do the refug, and i don't expect a lot. I thnk i put in sand, and i want to to thin my caulerpa (it likes the nu feeding with plank). was gonna scoop up next to goni, but the goni seem to lik. stretches into and thru the fethers. i'll tak from frnt (rnnrs has gron about 8-10" last 4-5 days) & othr end. we'll see, still ave to get hng on filter or sumthin for current

like all, it will be a work in process, with much tlc

i think I'm gonna have to modify a small hang on unit, something that has a filter pak that cud be used w/out, sump like??
hmmmmmmm....

gotta think about that

yeah my drop-in system on my tank when i first set it up went bad shortly after... so my tank is only 4" off the back wall. so my refugium has to be at least 3 1/2" wide, and i dont want to do a sump set-up since i have never done it before and find one day after work that i have drained my tank onto the floor.

so maybe someday i figure out a way to do this thing!
