What do you put in your fuge?

[brucewrs]

Hermit crabs,snails, star fish?Just curious what you put in the fuge besides sand and plants.Thanks

live rock rubble, snails, jumbo nassarius snails, sea cukes, fighting conch. if you are trying to build your pod population make sure you put in sand stirring critters and not sand sifting ones.

I currently have a 42 gallon fish only tank, and upgrading to a 135 in the near future, god willing. Could I use the sand that I have in my current tank in my fuge, should I decide to go that route? Not sure if I will just do a sump or a sump/fuge...thanks

 

[dmjordan]

use the top layer...that is where all of the beneficial bacteria and critters are living....

Cheato and some other multi-colored macroalgae. I am so loving the cheato. So easy to take care of.
