no offense taken, dont worry. I dont think fuge is the proper way to describe what im doing. The tank will be setup for the main purpose of housing the mantis, but will have many different types of "display quality" macro algae. It will be plumbed into my main system but will not be the actual filtration for the system. Hope that makes it a little more clear on what i want to do. Just didnt want a tank with nothing but rock, sand, and a shrimp. The macro was the only way i could think to add a little life to the tank and not be worried if it gets redecorated.
