I have sand, rubble, hermits, trochus, fern caulerpa, GHA, some mushrooms, a couple of bait shrimp and enough amphipods to create an army and take over the world

Pod hotel?Chaeto, a pod hotel, and a couple nerite snails to eat the undesirable algae that grows in there. Thinking about adding an emerald crab if the snails don't keep things in check. Plus I've had dumb snails manage to plug the intake for my skimmer..
Never mind...I googled it. Going to make my own with plastic dish scrubbers and corrugated plastic!Pod hotel?
Interesting... Do you have a pic of your fuge?No sand,
Live rock to within 3" of top of water, then mat of chaeto, divide in 1/2 every 2 or 3 weeks.
Pods and snails.
Will try to get one later after cleaning salt splash.Interesting... Do you have a pic of your fuge?
This sounds like something I may try. Right now I just have rubble on bottom Of fuge and macro algae, snails and hermits.
I have skimmer first, then the refugium chamber so less pods get sucked up into the skimmer.i have nothing in mine yet, i cant decided what to put in it.
Side question, for those of you running Skimmers also, are they before or after your fuge? do you think it even matters?
Cheato grows fast and is easy to prune, but i don't like the look and prefer other macroalgae like fern caulerpa, plus any bits that make their way to DT gets eaten by my Yellot Tang and lawnmover blenny. They love it.What are some concerns with going with other macros than cheato? Some can go asexual and reproduce and get into the man tank?
Is cheato the best for nutrient absorption?
Do you have sand and cheato? Just cheato? Any cuc?
