Plant Life for my new Refug

[carbuyersfriend]

I finally got the new 120 up and cycling and now am looking for some plant life for the refug portion of my sump. My total sump is 83 gals with a 65gal operating level. Of this the refug is approx 29 gal. I have 40 lbs. live sand in the refug and 15 lbs live rock. This is my second tank and I will be moving the contents of my established 90 over in the next few weeks after the mojor initial blooms. I have never had a refuf this size and really want it to be unique in addition to being a important filter. I need some ideas on what types of plants would thrive here and if there are any that help with the "clean-up" function. If I can ever get pics to load to this site I'll post some of my set-up.

Prolifera is my favorite. I've never had it go sexual either. I would maybe get a variety and see what grows. I couldn't get razor to stay alive in mine.

I'd stick with Chaeto. Non agressive, won't attach to anything, excellent nitrate exporter. If you're also wanting to grow plants for any herbivores to eat, maybe go with Calurpa Prolifera. I've never known anyone to have it go sexual, but supposedly it can. It's also a bit more aggressive and will attach to anything and everything...soo if a piece of it gets into your display, might be difficult to get rid of if you don't want it there. It's also a great nitrate exporter.

Chaeto gets my vote.
