And now deep thoughts with Jack Handy
Thinking of tearing Refugium up Wednesday. I have miracle mud some sand (thoughts of rooting macros) but think the benefit of bare bottom cleaning wise is way to go. Mud and sand another place for debris yo settle and fester.
Pros to keeping some mud full half coverage or no folks?

I am in no ways qualified to answer this, but in my head a non-display refugium would be as efficient as possible as opposed to a dumping ground. I like the idea of the mud, although some on the market explicitly recommend replacing it regularly (no thank you!). Keep it simple.

I used about an inch of plain old sand with some ISPF.com mud as a one time seed. I dont stir up that sand bed but I do try to vaccum off the top layer of crud every few months. Usually when I rinse the chaeto. Being bare bottom in my display i felt the fuge having some sort of substrate was probably a good idea. If I had sand in the display Id probably go bare bottom fuge.

Morning reefers, not real happy today. The new zoa colony looks like a model of the moon today. Lenny the murdering Molly Miller Blenny adopted the frag rack as a perch. He tail whips frags off and zoa was in sand last night. Today it looks like. Rock with one zoa.....not the dozen head beauty it was.
Not sure who played lawnmower on it overnight

Happy Sunday reefers, Well today finally took mud and sand out of sump. Ever do something feel good till the end? After the storm hit the display OMG looks like I’m mixing salt to start a cycle! I know it will settle down fresh socks catching the junk as I type. Changed out about 28 gallons of water thought I was going to run out at one point but just squeaked by. With the water so cloudy surprised Foxface isn’t spikes up in a corner but he’s swimming thru the haze happy as can be. Cpl picks of the ugliness
Positives lotsa chaeto grew lotsa new pockmarks of corralline purple and green. Can see few dozen kisses where snails have snacked. Once tank clears got some gluing to do on surviving corals.
