Mr Miagi
Veins are flowing with SW, now going back to FW!
Now the cryptic refugium is painted black on three sides, has the bottom covered with sand, the top covered with plywood, and a plywood cover on the front. The only time a light is turned on over it is when he is checking everything out. I think it basically just has a bunch of live rock in it with livestock that requires no light such as sponges. It is just a refugium for different beneficial creatures that either don't live with or don't like light.
Who knows or is interested in this idea. Ive qouted crazyelece here from a post she made in a diferent forum. Ive started hearing about this new method of filtration. Im keen to hear about anyones experiences or results with such a system.
It basically provides surface areas to aphotic animals that dont require light to gain food (non-photosynthetic organisms) like sponges, who constantly filter the water, removing organic particles.
Thoughts? Discussion?
