SRC Member ZeRoC00l Posted December 18, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 18, 2004 Thanks bro think not using the fuge and LRs.... think will be kinda messy... Dun really need a refugium. Just have lots and lots of LR, in tank, and sump. Tt's what i'm doing now, no need for a seperate refugium. Just dump the whole lot of LR into the sump Phyto for feeding the creatures in the LR.

SRC Member decentkid Posted December 21, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 21, 2004 wat if dun have a sump ? but lots of LRs in the tank ?can it be done ? does the water nd to be tip top condition ? the water doesnt need to be in tip top water condidtion..any condidtion will do....for example when cycling...thats when the pods mulitply alot because theres no predators....but they still multiply despite the water quality....alot of live rocks does help...but then you cant really culture them cos your tank has a lot of predators..

SRC Member boxfish Posted December 24, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 24, 2004 let say successfully culture copepods in sump.... what's next? catch them and feed fish in main tank? best method to catch them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member diabolus Posted December 24, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted December 24, 2004 they are visible to the ###### eye... just catch the amount required and dump them into the tank. those that escape will reproduce, still a constant food source to your tank! bro chinmo, can pass 10 pods for me to cultivate?
