In Tank Refugium

[Thizzelle686]

Do you think this in tank refugium would work in my BC29?? I really want to keep a mandarin and figured this would help me keep my pod population up. Plus the chaeto would eat some nitrates and phosphates. I would more than likely buy the smaller one.

Sorry for my ignorance. what's a BC29?

If it is a 29 gal, any intank refugium is going to look ugly IMO. Not to mention the extra unreachable surfaces where algae is going to thrive and make the whole thing uglier!.

That's IMO only. Cheers

My in tank refugium consists of a wad of cheato wedged between the skimmer bubble diffuser and the wall of the tank. It works very well, lots of pods. Here is a pic:

I wouldn't do it. You would need a much bigger refug to support the amount of pods that a mandarin will need.
