Dun think that will work.

The water circulation will be bad in these containers.

Why don't u get a frag rack?

Or temp get some suction pad & an egg crate to station them?

bro you using the container for chaeto? if the flow of the return to the chaeto container is strong, chaeto might die..

Last time my sump no wavemaker and i put one in, few days later, the chaeto which is growing turns white.. after removing the wavemaker with very little flow, the colour turns back to normal green..

Thanks Oni.

will take note. Let me monitor after and see after I got the Chaeto.

Guess getting the right flow into this container is one of the key to the success.

btw, you used it mainly to reduce nitrate or to harvest pods?

lol nice try.....

chance upon it and thought this might be suitable.

a bit too many holes though. Anyway will try and see how it goes.

Now the chiller return is channelled into this chaeto holder.

The holder is placed slightly above water level.

The chiller return is pointed towards the back where there is no holes. This rebound will "force" water movement within the holder & output via the holes in front.

I think the flow should be just nice.

hopefully this works.

worth a try.. hahaha...

prize maybe a yuma frag! or rics? or zoas???!!

bro it's mainly for reducing nitrate <-- the intention of getting it.

however it really reduces nitrate (with mangrove) from over 100+ no3 -> 50 (yes with prodibro bacteria and water changes) cos mines a TANG tank..

but.. getting this chaeto, really cultivates alot of pods.. last time before getting the chaeto, 0 pods.

now it's really alot alot,can see them swimming around the glasses.

so the chaeto is working for reducing nitrate and cultivating of pods for my doctor wrasse. maybe can get one mandrain inside the sump haha

spend $40 to ship it back here?

- dunno width

- dunno how much weight can it take or how strong is the magnet.

Might as well get the egg crate.

create a "bench" shape and place it on your sandbed.

<$10 and can use the remaining $30+ to buy your additives lol......

Are there black egg crates around?

where to get them?

hehe... actually I sold/ shared more than half of it away :P.

But still, now a much poorer man because of that place.

worst still, I look at my tank now and cannot find any noteworthy corals!!!

Hope I can find space to put this piece in.

lol no no.

I just want small frags and keep more variety instead of a big chunk of zoas here and there.

wanna see my zoas bloom......
