Macro Algae Decorator Crab Fuge

Not bad, looks like I will lose my job at the end of the month, ho hum

I've been out since november. Literally about to take a job landscaping at this point. Lose the belly while I'm at it.

The LFS has a red frog fish for 110 bucks right now. I am so tempted... its ready.

I can vouch that this Decorator Crab is one excellent sump lord! I spent about an hour staring at this refugium last night and can say it is awesome.

The fuge is stunning to look at. So much life and the crab, Oh my he is huge. I Would drive 4 hours to fall asleep watching the fuge anytime but Brain “Fige Hog” has to stay home

@RichtheReefer21 ~ This is simply stunning. I skimmed through this thread and it seems to have come to fruition just as you had intended. I’m following along for updates.

I am in love with your refugium! I’m following along because I may ditch my idea of a sump that’s hidden under the cabinet and go with a refugium that is seen and full of life.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Love it. :)

Thanks for the inspiration Si. There's a red dwarf 2" frogfish at my lfs on sale this weekend. I am so tempted. But I know he will be gone soon when I sell it all. Tough decision. But I promise if I get it I will not QT ;)

Thanks for stopping in sir. And yea I am pretty happy with it thus far. Might get some stuff for it today. Headed out lfs lurking in an hour. Lord help my wallet.

Welcome and thanks for checking it out!

Unfortunately I was forced to rush the sump doors. And ya gotta open the door to see it. But yes, it is like having a second tank. I'm satisfied with how it is turning out. Learning curves.

Do it, they are "pet" fish and need feeding buy don't need a lot of space! ;)

I forgot you had this thread. I must get reading

Enabler :)

I just cant justify it. Rather let it go to 1 home and stay. Rather than more stress down the down and another move... just for my satisfaction. If I wasnt selling the system in less than a year. I might have done it.

I have a California connection for frog anglers.. But I much rather observe in person than order fish online. Divers Den has almost reeled me in a few times... but not yet. :)
