the perfect fuge

[newly reefer]

ok so im curious on the opinions that every one may have on the "perfect fuge". ive read and tried all kinds of differnt things. so wat would u put in there to make it perfect?????

 

[trido]

A shallow wide cheato fuge would be ideal IMO.

i have cheato in one chamber then i have macro in another lots of rock but i havnt decided on wat my substrait should be.

 

[reedman]

this really depends on your goal with the fuge. Are you trying to remove nutrients, grow f food for herbivorous fish, cryptic fuge, harbor pods and other critters, cool looking algae tank? There are so many different choices that there is no one size fits all.

is there a problem with mixing algaes?

No, I have seven different kinds of algea growing my my fuge. Six are wild.

nothing worng with mixing just give room to grow and trim when over grown trade or sale it off.

yea i didnt think so i was even thinking of finding a third to add, what about a mud bed?

 

[lvsuckerfish]

I read they have to be changed from time to time for a mud bed I would steer clear of it personally but thats MY opinion. keeping it simple is best imo in this hobby.

 

[newly reefer]

ive read the same thing to, ive almost thought it would be easier to keep bare bottom just for easy care.

yeah thats what I plan on doing but I am going to have a Fish/softie 100 I will have sand in but not alot in my sps system I plan on going Barebottom and also in the fuge.
