Hello Everyone - My new fuge

Hello everyone - I love the site, very cool looking. I have a 90 gallon with a 10 or so gallon sump & 20 gallon fuge. I JUST setup the fuge yesterday (taped it) and set it up so that water pumps INTO the fuge from my sump and overflows back into the sump.

My questions are - what should I put in it? I have read a lot of people doing deep sand beads and plants. This is where I get a little lost, what sort of plants would you all recommend putting in there? I will be picking up a light for it soon and am eager to put this thing to good use.

Again - nice talking to you all! I look forward to making friends!

 

Welcome to 3reef. Any type of micro algae will so. Fuge is meant to soak up excess nutrients in the tank.

 

i have red mangroves in mine with a small ball of cheato.

 

reefcleaners.org has plenty of good information on macroalgae and whats good for what. id recommend a good layer of ocean mud, some oolite sand, and then chaeto and maybe gracilaria. (thats what im building at the moment not that i have a clue with what im doing either though lol)

oh and great to have you aboard 3reef!
