| Re: Brittle in a 'fuge?
Quote:
So I just acquired a little 10 gallon with the intent of setting up a small refugium. I know that main reason for a 'fuge is to raise the pod and brine shrimp population for feeding. But I'm really just trying to bring the nitrates and phosphates down ever so slightly if I possibly can, as my lion seems to produce a ton of both.
| Another reason to have a refugium can be for nitrate reduction. A 6"DSB in the refugium along with some sort of algae growth or a mangrove tree can accomplish that. It's not "just" a haven for pods. Keep the LR to a minimum or 0 in the fuge for nitrate reduction.
