I loved my bangaiis. Just make sure you have some low flow spots for them. They hate flow. Mine would never leave their corners. Very rarely one would venture out and get stuck across the tank because it couldn't get back with the flow.

So I'm thinking of an in tank refugium. Anyone have one?

i do not have one but thought of getting one and heard some things on them, 1. they will take up display room ,but you should know that also they are not going to be as good for keeping pod count up as a hob or under tank refugium

Looks nice. I'm guessing its exactly what you where looking for too. What's the plan with it? Macro algae or pods or something?

Yep. I was going to build one but this was $10 more and looks much better than anything I could do. Macro algae. Not sure which. Maybe a couple different ones

It would actually be fairly simple to make one out of acrylic from lowes/home depot. But that refugium saves you a lot of time and it doesn't cost much more then it would to make it.

Yep. I think it will look much cleaner too. I have a little pump from the old finnex one. Should be here in a few days. What macroalgaes should I get? Reefs2go has a $30 free shipping pack.

I've always been a big fan of chaetomorpha because it is very easy to deal with and perfect for pods. Caulerpa's can get out of hand sometimes plus I believe they all need to be rooted to something. As small as that fuge is, I would probably just go with one type of algae, but you are free to try more than one.

Ok. I'll just order a big ball of it. Is it affected by alkalinity?
