Reefing newb
I have a well established reef tank and am thinking of starting pipefish and seahorses. I have a few questions...
Can I use a regular flourescent hooded light (like for a nano tank) to grow Chaeto in my sump??
How long do the lights need to be on for good Chaeto growth?
Is it necessary to have a sand bed in the refugium even if I have plenty of live sand in the main tank?
My main goal is to keep and cultivate copepods for my seahorses and pipefish. I have no experience with refugiums but I need a steady supply of live copepods.
