Like the title says . . . hoping to build up the microfauna and cryptic filtration life in my new system.

Starting my new system and have a few areas for the rocks to live:
1. display - real reef shelf rock aquascape
2. sump - lots of Fiji base rock in high flow
3. old nitrate reactor - filled with rubble, low o2 & low flow
4. cryptic - no light 30g container filled with rock to home lots of interesting filter life.
Probably a refugium with ulva to home a healthy pod population.

I wish, I have about 5 that were growing on the bottom of some live rocks and I refuse to buy a couple pebbles from Tyree for $100++

Thanks Daddi0, great link.
It is my understanding that the encrusting sponges are the more preferable for this use . . . the finger type less so.
They aren't cheap. There must be some local reefers with tanks teaming with sponges ready to make a little money to feed their hobby and share the diversity increasing the stability.
Will bump this for the next few weeks, if nothing comes . . . a Tyree order will need to happen. Really curious what his package will look like.
happy Friday all :hb2:

Where are you located?
Would colonial tunicates work?
I've got a 3" or so disk with two distinct colonies on it, one is bubblegum pink, one is a deep plum/burgundy color. Might not spread super fast, but excellent filter feeders, and very handsome.
