    Will a fuge really help

    the only problem i see with the fuge is that its only 13" inches long 12" deep and 4.5" wide. should i even bother putting a DSB in this, and how deep would this be. should i also put Small LR rubble in, and should i go with caulpera, or shaving bush. thanks for the info everyone
