Sand or mud in fuge

is sand or 100% clay better can I keep frags on mud?

 

reef guru or anyone?

 

unscented cat litter is the same as a mud product, its just clay. or you can use sand with a large surface area such as ground coral. both are unique in there own way.

 

that mud is to feed the agae your supposed to plant in it.i'm redoing my sump to have a plenum in it with chaetto,like my daughters sump.

 

ok, so the out-going to the main tank is filtered via UV or what? im not sure

i hate to make ppl repeat things, i hope my questions arent burdensome

 

I run a pretty deep sand bed in my fuge because you are suppose to replace mud after a while and I didn't want to be digging around in the fuge and get hit by a bristle worm trying to add more.
It really gets down to your own preference.

 

i dont use any UV or ozone on a reef since they kill all bacteria. some of which the corals need.

 

well since i will have a dsb in my display tank around 4-5 in would a dsb in the fuge benefit anything? im thinking about 6 in dsb for fuge

 

six of one half a dozen of the other:
plenum, dsb, 1 lb/ gallon, all will work
but if dsb in main, no need in fuge

 

do i still need the fuge then?
