jtown Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 I'm planning on adding a refugium (15G) to my 20L and I was wondering if it's possible to make it look nice at the same time? Of course it will be filled with caulerpa, but can I have LR and a few fish in there? I've always wanted a tomato clown. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 you can put a fish in there but your pod population will not grow much. Plus, the caulerpa grows pretty fast and will crowd the tank. Lastly, tomato clowns get pretty big so the fuge will have to be fairly large. You're better off putting something like a seahorse in the fuge (I was thinking of trying this until my caulerpa completely took over the fuge). my 2 cents. Link to comment
BCOrchidGuy Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Thats a good idea Crakeur, horse would probably do well in there except for the 24/7 I would think it may bother the horse... Link to comment
jtown Posted December 27, 2002 Author Share Posted December 27, 2002 hmm ... that's true about the pods, but I don't really have a pod problem right now. I have tons of places in the main tank where fish can't get to so I think they do a good job of staying alive. hmmm.... is a tomato in a 20 or 15 high ok or is that too small? Link to comment
Crakeur Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 BC, my fuge lights are on for around 3 hours a day. The only other light it gets is from the lights on the main tank. If I left my fuge lights on 24/7 my apartment would look like Stephen King's house after he took home the meteor in Tales From the Crypt or whatever that horror flick was. My fuge is also to narrow to house a sea horse but I would really love to give it a shot. Link to comment
Trag Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Kewlest fish I ever saw in a fuge was an angler! It blended right in with the calp The fuge was rather large, I wouldnt recomend that in 15 gallon Just thought I share...: Anyway Keeping a fuge looking nice with calp in it is tough But there is plenty of neat stuff in there to look at Maybe you will just appreciate it for what it is Link to comment
Chromis Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 I too vote for some dwarf seahorses or maybe even pipefish. Link to comment
jtown Posted December 27, 2002 Author Share Posted December 27, 2002 I thought horses were hard to keep? how about a 20 gallon extra high and 1 horse and a tomato clown!?? ooo ... awesome. Link to comment
