Question What substrate for refugium

Hi
I have a 90 gal Fowlr/inverts and a 25 gal sump/refuge.

What substrate is good for a reugium? I have oolith(sp) in there now and some razor caulerpa and some small(broken) pieces of live rock. Is that OK?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply, Reefhawk1. Some people are using something else and I didn't check with the forum before I started to set it up.

I also had some tiny hermit crabs in the fuge til I noticed they were eating the caulerpa.

They're in the display tank now.

Thanks.
