I am setting up my Sump I have no intentions of using mud so I'm curious do you use sand or run bare bottom with live rock and chaeto in your refungium?

Very few ppl. may have PO4 test for organic waste, depend 110% how easy or if you can to siphon the sand , sand is NICE but, need to be siphon , in my opinion , Detritus is # 1 enemy for reef tanks , now , depend how fast , you try to removed, if you can, most of the time is pain. That way same ppl. prefer high flow and Tonga Rocks in display and B.B. next to refugium.Mine is bare bottom ( 300 Gal.) + 90 Gal . refugium ,full of Rocks.
I use this.Brew, please tell us more about the mud You use. depth, etc
It doesn't need to be removed imo. I do stir it up and release more into the water around once a week. Eventually I'm sure I will need to add more but that will be a long time from now.Thanks ! Does it need to be removed & replaced after a time?
Who doesn’t love the beach?Would I be wrong to say I prefer a sandy bare bottom?
