New fuge setup questions

[towboater68]

I have a 75 gallon that is almost done cycling. It has an about a 30 gallon sump with around a 12 gallon fuge section. There is nothing in the fuge section as of now but i have purchased a 12lb bucket of Walt Smiths Fiji mud. When i get back into tow i will be adding this plus some more live sand if needed. I have a led light that will be on opposite schedule of main tank. What plants and critters do you recommend in a new fuge? Where is best place to get it in a package? Sponsor maybe? Lalso since its a 75 i wont have any tangs and it is a reef so i wont need anythinglike tang heaven lol

i'm in the same boat but my sump is much smaller, all i have in there now is a DSB of about 3" live sand. I have some live rock rubble to add this weekend.

I have been looking on LiveAquaria.com at there fuge packs. It comes with a couple variations of macro algae like Cheato. My opinion is that it's pretty expensive and probably too much "stuff" for my fuge...i may just get a Cheato ball from my LFS and pop that in there.

I'm also adding CUC to the sump and DT once they get here, i'm running snails only at this point.

I'll be interested to see what others say on this as well so i'll stay tuned.

CCC is the acronym used for Clean UP Crew. These are the first guys to go in to a new tank, after it is cycled to help feed the bio by eating form algae and other nasty stuff and then pooping.Snails,hermits,crabs, worms, and so on.
