Hi guys

Hi guys I have been stalking this site for a month now and have learned alot.
I would like to thank all of you so much for all the information. My tank has just finished its cycle and i have ordered a clean up crew and some copepods. i do have a question. In my refuguim i have 10 lbs of live rock. would it be ok to add a deep crush coral bed to the refuguim. I have a DSB in the display tank sugar sand 5 to 6"

Welcome. This is a great community of people, and I think you'll like it here. I sure do.

As for your question... I wouldn't add crushed coral to your 'fuge. If you want a DSB (I strongly recommend NOT having a DSB) then you'll need very fine sand.

thank for quick reply. I have a dsb in the display tank. I want grow copepods in refug
so just stick with the LR

+1 on the fine sand for the refugium. That's what I'm doing on mine.

If anything, take your LR and break the pieces into smaller, rubble size pieces. Pinball, or golfball size is ideal. It'll give more surface area for pods to colonize.
