Refugium Q&A

Bumpity bump bump :Looking:

Another Q:

Refugium sand bed Critters............................................

Worms,pods,snails,crabs,etc.

What's a good idea to keep in the refugium bed and why?

Also, where is it best to acquire them?

Thanks in advance,
MIKE

 

REEFCLEANERS!!!

But for the sand bed keep stuff that only stays up top on the sand bed (snails, conch, cucumber, urchin, brittle stars)

 

Any Bristleworms or other types of worms in the sandbed?

 

no matter what you do, bristle worms will be everywhere lol

 

Why do you say that? Do they breed quickly?

Are there any other kinds of "in-sand" worms?

 

yeah they breed quickly and even if you dont "introduce" them they will still find a way.

Other worms are peanut worms and spaghetti worms. I know there are a ton of others but none that we usually try to isolate and sell... just have to share some sand with fellow reefers lol

 

Any online retailers that aren't expensive? lol

 

K+ on this advise. I rotated the 90 to push water at the surface of the 'fuge and the scum disappeared. I know that the macro died do to lack of light but since the surface is clear it is making a nice come back.

 

Happy to help:thumbs_up

Hope all goes well.
