OK! so im trying to make the area for copeopod growth. i recently set up a 20g fuge that gravity drains into my 10g nano.
The picture is a little off, because instead of the 10g draining into the DT, it drains to the sump.
In the fuge i have 50 lbs of rubble (it was dry when i got it from BRS ). slow turn over, about 180gph (the overflows can only do 200gph so i was limited with flow.) i plan to add a power head to the fuge as well. for macros, im thinking ill get a few mangroves and then cheato in between them. i was also thinking of some green fern macros as well. for lighting i just have a CFL 2700K lamp in a reflector. eventuly ill buy some life pods to seed it with.
How do i keep them growing? the whole point of this is so when i get a ORA mandarin, i can keep a stead supply of copeopods to supplement the frozen / prepared foods it will be on. also im looking for some nutrient export as well via the macro algae, but thats second in importance.
