[Kayaknsk8]

I just started a thread on my outdoor mangrove on the 12th story balcony in Emeryville.

Taking advantage of the mild weather and south facing windows.

I lived in Emeryville a few years back and DAMN did it get cold during the winter. Do you think they'll be OK out there?

My system went through the cold snap &b rains no problem. My heaters (only 350 watts for 200gal total) still don't kick on untill after I go to sleep at 1am.

Now a Chaeto factory for fellow BAR members.

My outdoor setup had to undergo a slight modification.

For those that asked to see the outdoor refugium, checkout the BAR happy hour on Sunday January 23rd, 2005 at 6pm.

Come by, drink, pickup Chaeto, help a stumbling newbie...
Find out why somebody would put a refugium outside in the first place.
