Does this sound good for the fug

[beachbumin]

Well i did my research and came up with this: 19" hob CPR refugium complete with pump and powerhead and a 18 watt jali pc for lighting. Im thinking of going with a mixture of ls and the fug mud for my substrate with a little lr on top. My only questions are; 1. how long should i run this before adding macroalge and 2. is there anything else i can do to promote more pod growth. I also havent decided if im going to get macro from lfs or order it so if anyone knows any good deals toss it my way! as always thanks for the help guys

imo the bigger ya can make your fuge the better !! and the price of the cpr is a bit much imo !! but ya can add macros as soon as it has water imo as well!! for the pods they like small rubble piles of rock so adding some to the fuge and let time do its thing !!

thanks for the help! I figured a hob fug would be better than having to deal with a sump for my small tank but i would rather have the size.
