Whats in your fuge?

Crabs McJones · Nov 20, 2019

Curious as to what everyone keeps in their fuge. Just one type of macro, multiple types of macro?
I am currently keeping chaeto, sea lettuce, and red goo

Thats what i had in mine. The cheeto died.

After about a year my fuge became covered in red flat worms. I have since replaced the tank and its plumbing. Put in some rock and sand. Will put in a bunch of rock nems, red macro and pods.

I would have to just throw it away because there was so much.

Mostly cheato in my sump fuge, trying to grow some red ones I got last week for tang food.

Display fuge is mostly prolifera.

How do you get your sea lettuce to sink? Mine floats and is super annoying because it drys up on top, dies, and breaks off into slime. Plus it starves my chaeto.

I have a small piece of salt marsh that I'm trying to keep alive. It sprouted a few new blades that are growing toward the surface, but I think some of the original marsh was dying from salt build up. I started spraying to off with rodi and it seems a bit better.

Some float some is held down but rocks or other macro. I do have to rotate the macro so it doesn’t stave for light when it’s packed.

Chaeto, dragons breath, ulva, gracillaria. I like the idea of different algaes. I feel like they all uptake differently and help balance things out nicely at different rates. But I could be making that up haha sounds good though doesn’t it!

Just chaeto and caulerpa. Stir well and season to taste. Actually the caulerpa outperforms the chaeto, but as long as I flip it every few days and keep it trimmed, it seems to do very well.

Chaeto, 5 mangrove stalks and Some GHA that I pull out when it shows it’s self. Also added a peppermint shrimp for Aiptasia control. Also, I was checking everything out a few days ago and noticed a couple banggai cardinals. They were about a 1/2”. My fish must have bred and went down the overflow.
