My Dilemma

[vito525]

Well, the site I ordered my refugium told me false information for delivery. I was expecting it on Wednesday and It will not arrive until Thursday. My dilemma is that I have 300 Copepods
12 Amphipods Chaetomorpha & Caulerpa serrulata coming on wednesday and I'd rather not put it in my main tank. How will I keep it alive for 24 hours until my refugium gets here??

Mix some water in a tub with heater and powerhead and let it age till Wednesday and then use that water for yuor refug. HTH

Well, that is quite a dilemma, but right off the top of my head, here is my idea. Take 5 gallons out of your main tank, throw a powerhead or small filter and a heater into a bucket with that 5 gallons from your main tank and keep them in a bucket for 24 hours.
Anyone see any problems with that logic?

go to lfs, buy a fry tank. its a net box that floats in ur main tank. u use it to let fish have their babies. a breeder box. that should work good. u wont have to get powerheads and heater.
