Gaeus 30g Display Refugium

Hi everyone!

This is my 30g long display refugium which soon will be connected to a 55g reef tank :D..I hope haha. I already have the 55g tank but im still saving for the light fixture. So...the tank is 6 months old, filtered by one internal filter and 1 external (I had a 550 gph waterpump giving flow to the water until it broke a few weeks ago, new one comming in 2 weeks +- ) and I do 5% water changes every sunday. The light is a home depot day light fixture and is working really good. Hoping to get enough money so I can upgrade XD

Live Stock:

3 Blue spotted sea hares
1 Lettuce slug
1 Scarlet hermit crab
7 Blue leg hermit crabs
1 Cayenne keyhole limpet
2 Serpent starfish (black)
1 Common atlantic bubble
3 Bristleworms
2 Pistol shrimps
1 Feather duster
-Emerald crabs LIKE CRAZY! 12-15 How do i get rid of them?
-Lots of pods

Green and Red Macroalgae:

-Caulerpa cupressoides
-C. serularioides
-Bryopsis
-Ochtoes secundiramea

Looking good...I've been trying to find a lettuce nudibranch for awhile. Nice pics.

Looks very nice! I'd love to do a display refugium for my next setup.

Are you talking about locally or online? ReefCleaners.org | Clean Up Crews and Macro Algae - Lettuce Nudibranch*

I wanted local...only because shipping fee's. But I'll probably break down and order it online. Thanks for the link Brian.

They are excelent algae eaters and look super cool in the tank. I dont know the species name of the one that have but the common one is Elysia crispata.

any updates/pics? I'm thinking about having a display fuge since I cant fit it under my stand.
