    heater inside filter?

    There is no problem in putting the heater in your filter as long as it fits. The only reason for putting a heater in the sump is to keep it out of view. If your filter has a plastic housing, make sure the heater isnt touching anything that could possibly melt and cause a leak.

    Sand or mud?

    Those of you with refugiums, which do you have as a substrate, sand or mud? I had sand, then switched to mud but was thinking of going back to sand. Which do you think is more beneficial?

    RO/DI water stinks

    It sounds to me like you didnt purge your filter when you first hooked it up. There are preservatives and such on the filter which is probably what is causing your algae bloom and the odor. I have to fill my storage tank and empty it three times whenever I get a new filter.

    RO/DI water

    My RO unit was manufactured for drinking water. It came with a faucet for dispensing water. In the line that goes to the faucet, I put in a "tee" to divert water to a separate DI filter. From the DI filter, I run another line to a valve where I get RODI water for my top offs and water changes.

    the worst christmas gift !!!!

    I dont know that I've ever received a bad Christmas gift but when I was 8 years old, I had to spend Christmas in the hospital. I spent 29 days in there. Maybe not the worst gift but it was the worst Christmas ever.
