What to put in sump/refugium

vester_72 · 04/05/2003, 09:47 PM

Hi - I am currently have a 75 gallon with 85 lbs. of live rock and 75 lbs. of live sand - fish only but am going to be adding some soft corals and inverts.

For my fuge, I was going to have a DSB about 5-6" deep and live rock.

Should I add any algaes into it also? What would be some good recos?

Thanks

There are plenty of Macro algaes that are good to use.
Chaetomorpha (spaghetti), various types of Caluerpa, red turf.
A best bet is to put several types in as some will fare well in one system and slowly fade away in another.
