I currently have a 20 gallon remote fuge with a V300 viparspectra grow light, not dimmable. I have a mini controllable power head for additional flow. The fuge grows macro and pods now. It has a rock rubble bottom. Due to a un-killable red flat worm problem I need to take it down and start over. I was thinking (oh no mr bill), since i had a few extra rocks and bags of sand I could do more than just grow macro and pods. It is connected to my 600 gallon system so its very stable. Alk 9, Calcium 450, Mag 470. The only issue I would have to deal with is perhaps a new light, T247 or something cheap if a clam or something decides it needs to live there.
Can you grow feather dusters and other such things under the light I have ? Any one doing this? Coralline grows well.
Im also looking for other things that would look real good. Maybe a small shrimp or 2, clam, other softies?
Any big pods eaters are not an option.
I'm open to suggestions as to what would look great.
Cheers
 
Not someone who can offer up advice on lighting but there are lots of people who run "Display Fuges". Growing multiple types of Macro algae in them, maybe some mangroves, lots of options. Clams might need something a little bigger than a 20G long term and a slightly more powerful light but it would work for the first few years anyway tank size wise.
 
i might try seagrass. (and the requisite dsb)

or just a variety of macro algae on rock rubble.
 
Bump
any more ideas
Sponges?
