exactly that why I want to do it with grasses instead of algae. also with grasses you get the root system that will help clean the junk out of the sand extending the life of the bed.
I have a refuge right now but it is got bug growth only, so it 2" of fine sand, 2" of coarser sand on top of that and a bunch of rubble. I do not light this one at all. but I would not have a problem with making another one with a few floressent grow bulbs over it to light up some fast growing grasses.
