![]() I know mangroves are nice but I heard they're actually not very good nutrient exporters unless you have TONS of them.

![]() There's Red Algae:
And Halimede: I'd stay away from things that can easily go sexual on you though, like Caulerpa. ![]() I also used to house cleaner shrimp in my 'fuge because they spawned like bunnies which is great for feeding the tank. |

![]() Thanks Kien.
Reefgoat: I plan on having a fairly high bioload so I wanna hit it from every angle for nutrient export including a large refugium. Secondary would be for pods but that's pretty much a natural biproduct of any refugium.

![]() I love caulerpa personally, you do run the risk of it going sexual but I've never had it happen and have ran it for nearly 2 yrs. just have to prune it back every other month

I've read that if you run the lights 24/7 they actually won't even go sexual, which is a bonus. I don't like Caulerpa because of the risk. I would personally go half tumbling cheato, and half dsb/mud with mangroves. Maybe some red/purple macro. Halemida is ok, but it sucks up calcium.
