feeding
 

Do you guys feed your refugiums directly? Wondering how all those pods and worms get food etc.

Jack, I feed my refugium 3 nights a week with golden pearls and/or newly hatched brine shrimp. It's growing in bug population very well.

hey guy what eggsactly is a refugeum???
sry im a little new!

Thanks.

Golden pearls are Mail Order, right, Brad? I have to buy an air pump for a friend from JL. I will pick up some eggs and start a hatchery.

Right. Steve brought these in from somewhere.

and seeing as they are very very hard to find I think there price is higher than gold right now :mrgreen:

I think I am going to be rich, good thing I got enuf for me to last 5 years :wink:

seriously though if you want to order some you can get them from

Thanks for the link.

Refugium is generally another tank with water from the main tank pumbed to it. Usually algae is encouraged to grow and the pods(sand bugs) live there. The idea is that the refugium can soak up the extra nutrients and help repopulate your pods in the main tank that are eaten by fish. Plus better stablization in water parameters due to the extra water volume.

Not sure of your point. The question is do people feed them, not what is a refugium. But thanks for the refesher!! :razz:

Hi Brad. He was replying to this question.
