I was just wondering what type of plants you guys have in your refugium. I have a new setup 125 gal with 30 gal refuge and was wanting to put some in and wasnt sure what type to get. So let me know what you guys and gals have.

Chaetomorphia macro, 4 1/2 to 5 inch DSB, a 200 watt Won heater, no rocks in it yet.

I have a 20gal fuge. I started out with Feather( I think its also called mexicana) and Blade (c. prolifera). I have since added some grape because I like how it looks. The feather is kind of slow growing but the blade grows like crazy after I upgraded my lighting. the blade grows so much it was starting to be a neusence. I thought about getting rid of all of it. But then I bought a Yellow tang and he eats it so I guess I'll keep it. I give a couple blades in the clip every couple of days. I am happy with all 3 kinds, but I have always heard Cheato is one of the best.

phytoplankton will grow in any aquarium, everytime you scrap the film algae off the glass you have phyto.

Nitram,
Do you have a picture of your refugium?
I have a 125 and am thinking about adding a 30 gallon refugium but didnt know if I needed baffles or not and what size pump to get. Can you tell me what you use (pump, baffles, overflow) and are you happy with it?
