setting up refugium

[OCDP]

Good deal, time to set one up then.

So all I need then is an AC500, some chaeto, and a light over top of it?? Any specifics here?? What kind of light ? Any light ? Do I need to add in some sand and LR rubble to the HOB fuge?

i have the same problem now too, but this is day 2 with lights off...it is much improved.

preferably a light in the 6700k range is best. if your going to grow cheato you don’t need anything else as it has no roots, if you grow caulerpa you will need to root it into some substrate such as mud or very fine sand. i would keep it lit 24/7 if you grow caulerpa and remember to harvest when it starts to grow.
