I should start by saying that i've got a 40 breeder thats been going for over a year now, and i will soon be adding a 10g standalone fuge to it...just right next to it.
Is 10g enough for any pipefish? If not, how big of a fuge would you recommend to have them? I know they need lower flow which is no biggy, and i believe they need lots of pods??? (which is why they'd be in the display fuge).
What would you put in the fuge as far as algae goes? Anything special, or just stuff like caulerpra and the regular fuge stuff?
Also...arent pipefish a bit cooler water fish? If so, how much cooler do they need? I know i can drop the temp in a 10g at least 5 degrees lower than in my 40 w/just a fan.
Oh, last thing...which pipefish are the "easier" ones to do? I know that they're all supposedly pretty difficult to keep...but which ones are easier?
Thanks in advance!
