miracle mud in media bag?

[Coderad]

I have decided on the mirical mud with some Caulerpa. Mabey some live rock rubble. But looking at my sump I don't know if I can just have a mud bed it might have to be in a media bag, or it will get sucked into the tank
How will that work with the Caulerpa?
or will it be fine just leaving the mud bed?

This is they style of sump "Amiracle Slim-Line Wet-Dry"

I would NOT put it in a media bag. It will leach through and cloud the tank I am sure. It really needs to be used as a substrate.

Have you thought of making a small refugium?

Well no not really I was hoping to use the sump I bought. It takes up the whole cabnet. I don't think I would have much room for a small fuge.

Here is a picture of the sump.
Do you think the mud bed will stay in the bottom?

You'd be wasting your time trying to figure it out in that sump. It's not designed for a mud set up. Perhaps consider an alternative to the Miracle mud system? Like... ZEOVIT!~
