Best plants for sump

[Jen0221]

I'm setting up a 75 gal sump. Was looking to see what my best option is for the fuge.

To answer that, you should specify more about your goals for the sump.

If it is nutrient export with minimum care, Chaeto is dependable. I don't like it because nothing eats it and I have seen a tendacy for it to break off and leave parts in display tank.

In general, I recommend Ulva because it is fast growing and everything eats it including people as it is a main ingredient in Nori. The point being, you can exports nutrients or recycle them by feeding Tangs fresh greens.

I was looking for something for nutrient export and when trimming back to be able to feed to tangs and angels.

I am at this same point and looking to do the same as the OP.

Does Ulva spread to the display or go asexual like some others? I know chaeto does not but as you mention nothing really eats it either

In extreme cases, Chaetomorphy will go sexual. In that extreme, a drop of water with algae spores can become a underwater forest.

Ulva is a good choice. I only have one display with a refugium. It is what I use. I have used it in display tanks. Contrasted with Dragons Breath, I found it attractive.
