Mud or Sand for HOB fuge??

[sirk]

I am putting an XL HOB fuge on my tank and I am torn about what to use in it. Should I use Live Sand, Miracle Mud, Fiji Mud ?? I don't know. Please help. I have some cheato in my other tank I want to put in it as soon as I get this going but would like to add some gracilaria algae as well. Any ideas? Thanks.

I prefer the Mudd because you already have ls in you Display, and its suppose to constantly add trace elements.. read https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/229153/refugium-story-and-my-blue-tang
