Just purchased a brand new refugium off of ebay complete with 6500K power compact, all plumbing, and powerhead.

Now I need to stock it appropriately for the reef I am creating. I presently have only one little fishy as I've been needing a new skimmer and a fuge to help combat a small cyano issue I've been battling for far too long.

I understand that putting some miracle mud and then growing some macro algaes, such as caulerpa will help to control any micro algaes that may be in my tank. Also one can 'grow' micro-inverts such as amphipods and copeopods to feed the tank naturally, but how does this happen?!

Please school me on how best to set up my fuge...
