livestock for ~30g sump? (also, anyone in OC/LB with chaeto?)

[oredith]

so, like 8 months after the 180g has been "running", i finally got around to getting the refugium section of the sump wet this weekend.

tossed in the clump of chaeto that's been sitting in the overflow.

i wanna put something in there, but not sure what. suggestions?

oh, and anyone in or between LB / OC with chaeto to spare, i'd like a little bit, just to diversify the population.

All those days work for me, just text me and let me know.

 

[oredith]

everyone's offering chaeto, but no one has suggestions for sump livestock?.. >_<

i ordered up some mangroove seeds. it's more for looks than actual nutrient export. gonna grow them in the sump til it's big enough to put in the DT.

I have fish in mine. You can put anything you want down there! I've had it as a frag tank, clam garden, macro algae tank. But now it's just chaeto and some fish hahaha. If I could keep the chaeto down I'd like to put an angler down there. I e always wanted one. I had sea horses in there for a while. Worked really well but having the lights on opposite schedule, and needing to feed twice was cray. Good luck Jeff. And if you need frags let me know!

 

[oredith]

angler is my first choice too, but theyre hard to get to eat..

sea horse / pipefish would be cool, but it kinda defeats some of the purpose of having the refugium - breeding grown for pods. those would clean them out.. >_<

sigh.....

go lowball an angler for me..

go lowball an angler for me..

you saw how much it was... i didn't have time to talk to him... i can lowball him over the phone though.. but let me know how much you want to spend...

 

[gumbii]

it's huge btw... like the size of a tangerine...

 

[mark.a.smith405]

Do it Jeff. DO IT! It'll probably make me do the same. Honestly I have pods growing EVERYWHERE in my sump. So even though j have pod eating fish in my fuge I still have a ton in my tank.
