    Hey Amcarring, btw, HNY, sorry for my ignorance, but why would anyone use kitty litter for the refug?

    Because it's 100% clay, which is what "Miracle Mud" and similar products are "made" from

    Just use a deep sand bed in mine and it works great and a lot cheaper then Miracle Mudd.

    A deep sand bed, Miracle Mud or Walt Smith's Fiji Mud are good choices as I have all three!

    100% clay unscented Kitty litter for me too, but I'm just following amcarrig. By the way, is that cat possessed?
