Anyone here keeps macroalgae in fuge when phosphate is 0.02ppm and below? Please let me know which macro. I have some fish only eat Copepods. I have tried many kinds and they don't do well. Thanks!

Depending on your space, you could try a cryptic fuge. Some like rock and no lights. The live rock would offer detritus and no lights would keep those little guys busy all day.

Kinda like when you peek in your tank in the middle of the night and the pods are ALL OVER THE PLACE! I think at one point cryptic zones were pushed as a method of nutrient with sponges and such. I don't really buy into that but I think they serve a purpose. For pods!

Sorry for the typos. Lets try this again.

Sounds interesting, I will look into this. I have a small fuge next to the sump. I may try it since no macro does well. Thanks!
