So I am working on developing my refugium and am looking for some ideas. Currently I have some ceramic media that will be replaced with marinepure and chaeto, but what else do you all use??
Show me your Refugium!

I like it! I'm wondering if a DSB in the fuge would be beneficial
I have heard of people doing that. At the very least it would be easier to change out a dsb out of a fuge than a dispay tank when/if that time ever comes. Unfortunately I don't even really have that option since my fuge is so small, I only have about a 1cm sand bed in mine.

Right now I have no sand in fuge. I'm probably going to change that today. Heading to LFS now

This was mine when it was freshly setup, over 2 years ago. Can't see in it anymore! I don't really clean the glass and it's been taken over by grape caulerpa and chaeto. Mix of sand, rubble, a few big chunks of rock, and shell/sand/rock background. 90 gallons, cheap Home Depot t5 lights on it
Do you ever remove chaeto or do you just let it stay filled?This was mine when it was freshly setup, over 2 years ago. Can't see in it anymore!

14gal biocube tied into my return section of sump with overflow and return pump. Have a 90gal DT. Can't get macro to grow do anything due to low nutrients, but hey, not complaining there. But the hair algae on the powerhead seems to thrive. Ha

Don't they have a special refugium mud just for that?

They do but I am just trying to see what has worked in practice for everyone before I throw it in

I remove it occasionally. It takes a while to fill the tank-I think I need to change my bulbs. And for the size of my system (60 display, 90 fuge, and 70ish gal sump) i don't have many fish, so growth is pretty slow.
