Fuge over the sump? Do you have a pic?!

Yes, as a matter of fact I do. Here's a recent pic of my 150g 'fuge.

Most incompetent fuge I've ever seen. Where's the Chaeto , Caulerpa and Miracle Mud?

Ya, it's definitely far from perfect

I struggle with growing Chaeto as my tangs seem to enjoy (consuming) it, immensely. Plus, I have a hard time finding Caulerpa around here. Seems no one wants to stock it anymore. Instead, I have to settle for bubble algae and film algae. The Miracle Mud is all under the live rock. It's only visible when you lift up any rock allowing the "mud" to escape all over the place clouding the entire refugium.

Get your act together Kien. The only thing that's going to fix this mess is a few new Acans. Thankfully, I know where you can get some.

My refugium currently houses a Yellow Clown Goby who prefers eating acroporas over any other food. He especially likes the delicate colourful acro's and eats those first. In the fuge he is on a strict diet of brownapora.
