We all try to create a good fuge to help filter out our tank. What do you have in your fuge to help do this. Add some of your cool fuge pics:D

I have 2 green chromis, 1 yellow wrasse and a firefish.
I didn't put them there, they went down one of the drainpipes.
The chromis have been there for about a year and the wrasse and firefish about 6 months.
I would like them back in the display, but I am just too lazy.

LR and 2 types of macro.
Did you know that certain types of fish eat pods? (of corse you did
) Some are Royal gramma, green cromis and yellow wrasse.
And I thought a refuge is to grow pods.:notsure: :rolleyes:

I run my "Fuge"(s) as an "Algal Scrubber"...(part of the filtration system)
It's main "Goal" or purpose is malnutrient removal through the forced growing and removal of macros...(Caulurpa prolifera)
In it I have a 1/2" of sand on the bottom for Macro "tendril" attachment a small "pod pile" to keep the little guys happy (they "proccess" the deitrus to nutrient levels the Macros can absorb) and I run my lighting 24/7....
There are a couple serpent/brittle stars in there to help in detrius processing and "Hairy" the decorator Crab (to scare little girls, when they look inside...
)...along with a handfull of Nassarius and cerith snails...
I have tried a fish or two in there but the 24/7 lighting is not condusive to long term health and they have since moved on to the MT...
Not much to look at...Kinda like this...

Yeah, and there are still a lot of pods in there since there is a lot of rock rubble (probably 40-50#'s)
I wasn't recommending that they put them in there. The title of the thread just ask what is in it;). One of these days I will get them out... it might just be a while. Wish they were still in the display, then I could look at them and not have to deal with catching them or making a fish trap.

daceman89, that set-up is awesome!
Anyways, in my fuge I have a ton of chaeto and around 10 lbs. of live rock (small fuge).

I setup a few fuges in the past, they always turned out to be a waste of space for me. Good skimming, Live rock and good flow seems to works for me.
Here's a shot of what my fuge looks like right now. I got a great deal on a brand new 150 watt SLS HQI ballast, Reef Optix pendant and 50K Iwasaki blub (170.00) Its a fraggrow tank now.
