I have a newly set up desk mate Florida 9 gallon aquarium in my office.
It is designed to house a skimmer and media shelf in the rear compartments. I don’t feel like a skimmer will be necessary due to the bio load, and I don’t think the media shelf with pyrogen or chemi pure is really needed either. It seems to me that I can take care all of those issues with regular water changes.
Here is a pic of the back of my tank:
I’m thinking I can move the heater around a bit, and use the large center chamber as a Refugium.
Here is the reason why: my favorite fish are the mandarin dragonet and the ruby red dragonet. Both are voracious pod eaters, I have successfully kept them in my larger tanks for years.
If I run the back as a Refugium, and maintain a healthy pod population, would I be able to keep one?
I have successfully gotten mandarins to eat pellets and frozen food, and I’ll try that as well, but it is hit and miss.
