As I am preparing to build my first Reef Tank I am wondering what people put in their refugium. I know Deep Sand Beds used to be very popular, but I don't see many of those anymore.
My DT will be a 75 Gallon and my Sump will be a 40 Breeder. I am thinking of doing a 3 or 4 chamber sump, one of which will be for Chaeto, but I am thinking of adding a 10 or 20 Gallon tank as a separate Refugium. If I do, I am debating what to do in that refugium. Should I put livestock in there, DSB, more Rock, plantlife, or some combination of these... There are so many options and obviously benefits and drawbacks to each.
If you were going to add a separate Refugium, what would you put in it?
