zhubbell Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 So I'm experimenting with refugium, and kinda just, trying some things out before I get my 3 90 gallons set up in the basetment, which I will have all running on the same system with a big sump and a refugium.... What I have just set up in the mean time is a 5.5g with a 2.5g refugium... I'm looking for suggestions for what I should try and house in there... I've already got a 20H seahorse, macro, and assorted corals, and a 30g packed with about 40 corals and some really nice fish I'd love to do anemones, an eel, or clams, but for this particular set up, I dont think any of those would work... I'm just looking for an interesting idea for what to do with this extra space... I'm also wondering, is there any reason I cant make the refugium the hide out for a nice decorator crab or something??

zhubbell Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 I considered that, I dno, I never was into that craze....but if nothing else, I may consider it Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I like the decorator crab idea for the refugium. Link to comment
zhubbell Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 What about a single clam? is that totally out? Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 A clam's probably not the best idea, unless you want to do a non-photosynthetic one, and those can be difficult unless they're live rock hithchikers. One thing I've always wanted to do if I had a refugium that was large enough (which yours will be), is keep a frogfish in a refugium. I've always had a particular fascination for these fish, they're very unique. However, they're also the kind of fish that you really need to research before taking them on. Grimreefers.com is a really good place to look, they have a forum just for frogfish. There are also some good threads on them on RC. Uberfugu is a great person to talk to on either of these forums, he's kept several frogfish and even tried breeding them. He's extremely knowledgeable. He used to be on NR, but I haven't seen him here in a while. Link to comment
zhubbell Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 So you mean a frogfish in my later on refugium right? my big one? cuz thats an awesome idea I have a feeling you dont mean in my 2.5g refugium.... Also, why not photosynthetic clams? they just too big a toll on the bioload?? Link to comment
MDeth Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 They dont live long and need ALOT of planktonic (and smaller) matter to filter. They probably will die, so dont waste your $ Link to comment
zhubbell Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Ok, so clams are out...any other interesting specimens that can be kept in a 5.5??? Link to comment
