Fiji Mudor Reef Muck in a BioCube refugium?

[scuba-raru]

Anyone out there ever put Fiji Mud or similar reef muck in the bottom of a biocube refugium?
I've heard arguments about not adding live sand to the rear fuge b/c of possible lack of flow & nitrogen build up. But I'm thinking the critters in reef muck may help break down the nitrogen and may help aerate the tank a bit....not sure if its a significant benefit to the main tank though...any ideas?

Reef mud is mainly used for refugiums. It's used because of the minerals in it help macroalgae grow better. It also provides a better medium for sea grasses and some inverts. You could certainly use it as a substrate in an aquarium, and it would look neat, if you wanted that kind of aquarium. It's all up to you.
