refugium and copepods

[YoCamron]

hello everyone. i have a dwarf pipefish/seahorse tank that i add copepods to every week. i have recently seen some videos on hang on the back refugiums that i would like to try. but i am afraid the intake would suck in my seahorses. has anyone had success with hang on the back refugiums? i want to learn how to set one up!

I've got one, and it's been working just fine - nobody in the impeller. The intake slots for the powerhead are pretty thin - I don't think they'd be a danger to an adult pipe or pony, but small ones or fry would be a different story. I've got the CPR one, with the matching LED lightbar, and it grows Chaetomorpha like nobody's business. (Also provides a warm glow on the wall behind the DT...)

You ought to be able to cover the intake with a sponge.
