What to put in my refug
I have a small refug area on my sump. What is the best stuff to put in it?
I know a LED light, some cheto but what else should I use? Mineral mud? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...8&pcatid=18378 -Do you have to change that our every year? or do you put sand on top? I was even just thinking of putting rocks and cheto with no sand. I seen people use some of these blocks that are very pours. What are they called? Thanks for the input everyone! |
I don’t like sand in the fuge, it just makes a big mess. Mine has half rubble rock, and half cheato. I also have a plastic container with rubble to get frags to attach.

That is what I used, nothing fancy but it worked. |
It’s like 12”x6 I believe

Was thinking about giving that one a try myself, might be worth looking at. |
I'm using this, it was a cheap led grow light off eBay (there are lots of options). It keeps my ball of cheato pearling (producing small oxygen bubbles) constantly which is a sign of strong photosynthesis. I'm the 2.5 weeks I've had it running the ball of cheato in my refuge has tripled in size and this is on a brand new tank with very little bioload.
The light is 10" x 10" which work perfect for my fuge https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5ef44d4ce2.jpg The cheato is probably doubled since this picture https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3eb82137e0.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Thanks for that tip! That light looks really nice! I just personally dont want a huge one over the tank like that.

Thanks for the help |
Buy a $12 LED Plant Light from Amazon and put it in a clamp fixture (or wahtever you want). Done. You get 90% of the growth that you get from a $300 Kessil light in a small form factor for about 5% of the cost.
