What is the best way of replenishing critters in the tank/refugium?
I used to have tons and was able to see them crawling on the rocks, glass, sand, etc. Then i had a mandarin for a little bit (he died, probably after eating all my critters) and a sand-sifting-star for a few months (till i realized he eats any critters he can find in the sand, at which point i took him back to the store). So my tank which was once abundant with critters, now seems to not have many if any at all.
Adding live sand or live rock would probably be the best way, but i already have a lot of sand and rock and dont really want to add any more. furthermore, the LR in local stores seems pretty dead, and to order premium rock would require a large order.
anybody have any suggestions or know of any places where i can just buy a whole bunch of these guys?
