simple diy refugium chaeto cage

[billberet]

i've been getting tired of my chaeto running my refugium, so i decided to make a cage for it. Real simple, all i used was some gutter guard and zip ties.

first i found out the size of the cage i needed, due to refugium size.

top view, again, simple, just a simple cage that will house my chaeto or live rock for that matter.

do a test fit to make sure it all fits snug

add your chaeto

insert cage into refug

what made me think of this is i am moving my emerald crabs to my refug. I am getting some clowns and anemone's and i don't want any snipping or eating going on when i'm not watching, now my crabs can stay in the middle and my chaeto will have their own cage. not to mention my crabs will have an endless supply of chaeto to munch on when i need to feed them.
