Every morning there is a dust like substance on the bottom of the aquarium glass above the sand level I was told this was copepods but want to verify that is for sure what it is? I scrape them off with the mag float but the next day they are back. I seeded the tank with them before I introduced...

The idea is to set up a single refugium that works for both brine shrimp and copepods. I’d assume they can’t be in the same partition because the brine shrimp would eat the copepods. So the question is, is there a single refugium tank that has the necessary partition (and capacity for any other...

Hey, guys. Just yesterday I replaced my Coralife 30 HOB filter and protein skimmer on my 20 gallon clownfish/soft coral/CuC tank with an Aquaclear 70 filter modded to be a sort of HOB refugium. Basically, I superglued bits of plastic grid into the back of the filter so that I could fit a basic...

Howdy, I have an algae scrubber. Every week or two I take out the screen and cut off 90% of the algae. This yields at least a quart size baggie of algae loaded with copepods. I toss the algae in the trash but I hate losing all the pods that I could be putting in my tank. Anyone have a...

In the past 2 days I’ve noticed a bunch of little white dots all over the glass. When i first noticed I scrubbed them all off thinking that it was just dirt from the aquarium. But today when I took a closer look they were all moving. They seem to be doubling by the day. I’ll add a picture I took...

I've read about the importance of having a refugium, especially for reef/saltwater tanks. My understanding is that a refugium serves primarily as a home for organisms that act as biofilters, such as macroalgae and microorganisms. I have also read that they can be used as a home for Copepods...
