    I have my refugium presently setup this way as the pictures will show. Is there to much rubble rock in there? Should it be on one side and the cheato on the other? I plan on getting the algae/mangrove pack from reefcleaners so I am making sure I have it setup right. I have the rubble in there for the pods to have a place to chill and of course do the reproductive thing. All input is truly appreciated. Oh yea, when I had my custom sump/fuge built the put some from of brace thus why my refugium has two sides.

    Looks fine to me. The pods will move into the chaeto as well as the rock so that doesn't really matter. Looks good!

    I have my fuge set up with a large pile of rock on one side (so the mangroves can stick out of the surface) and the other side open so there's plenty of room for the chaeto to grow. I like having lots of rock in the fuge. Gives hiding room for all the pods, stars, worms, I even have a couple of peppermints in mine.

    Thanks chief. I have no idea how I missed it. Your plumbing looks pretty simple and not complex. I like.

    That is one clean fuge. Mine looks like a swamp on a bad day. I guess that's the point though.
