refug ???'s
Just a quick question and I need some quick opinion. Is 4.5 lbs of fiji-mud an adequate amount of mud to use in my refugium? I'm also going to have about 2.5 inches of sand on top of the mud in a 20g tall refug for a 55 gallon display. The display is also going to have about 2.5 inches of sand in it. Mostly going to have soft corals with some SPS and LPS in the distant future. Let me know what you think...thanks!
