My friend gave me a drilled 10 gallon, and for the first time, I have a refugium! I set it up as an upstream, and it'll soon be fishless. Once I get the fish out, I would like to see populations of mini-stars and mysids flourish (some are already in there from macros I put in), and don't care much for pods. To do so, would I need to directly feed the tank? How fine do food particles have to be? What kind of food is best? Because it's an upstream, I'm not sure much food from the main tank will make it up there. Then again, I don't want to compromise water quality and defeat the purpose of a refugium. I also don't plan to put in much substrate as I never had any luck keeping cyano off sandbeds.
I'm sure you'll have questions first, so I'll let you ask the correct questions before I babble on . Thanks.
