my advise would be dragons tongue if you can’t give cheato good flow under half decent LEDs like a fugeray it will grow wild plus is easy to clean pest algae off of however turbo snails can destroy it
I use Aragonite in parts of my sumpI would not bother with cheato. If it does not tumble or get enough flow and right light it will just disintegrate. Unless you get and actual algae reactor. As I said, I hate sand. I had a DSB and tearing it out was a nightmare. In the sump I just use rock. Works great. I do this in my picos too. Just throw rubble in the filter and good to go.
I love sand in the display, not the sump.
What did you use to create the refugium? I am setting up a new tank and I want to add one to a sump prior to start up. For reference the tank is a Red Sea 170 which has a 9 gallon sump. Thanks in advanceSorry, when I say sump, I am generally referring to a refugium section of the sump. You being newer, I should have clarified they need a spot they will not just get sucked into immediately. Yes, they eat detritis. This is another term for organic matter decaying, garbage, excretions (sounds better than poop), etc.
It is generally very beneficial to have a section for pods to grow. Using cheato or live rock or substrate or floss and sponge. I have a live rock section that I keep frags in built into the sump.
I’m thinking about doing this same thing. Trying to come up w the best diy to build the refugium. I’d love suggestions as I’m new to the hobbyWould it be worth it to make a DIY refugium and add some cheato to my sump?
Thank you guys so much for the help
