I need to grow some grape caulerpa, and since i dont want to risk it going sexual, i do not want to put it in my refugium.
Id like to have a second small tank to just grow this stuff. I need 5 gallons at most, probably less.
Should i just buy a 5 gallon tank from petco for $10 and add some pump and lights?
Or just buy the 3gallon JBJ picotope.
What lights/pump should i buy?
Also, can this tank double as a external refugium where i can maybe add 1 piece of live rock and some sand and put in my hitchhikers? Or is this a bad idea since the macro will take over the tank anyway and go into every crevice of the rock and into the sand bed. I kind of want to have a mix of a nano-tank (no corals, just crab/worm hitchhikers) and refugium. Should I just pick one (like barebottom, just macro and water, thats it?)?
Any tips appreciated!
