Refugium help - need info and ideas

[Coleus]

You can put deep sand bed in refugium and some live rock if you want to grow some pods, Then you can throw in some cheato, mangroves for nitrate reducer.

Most ppl prefer not to put filter sock before water going into refugium tho because they want some food from tank to go into refugium to feed the pods.

Running np pellets won't up your pod production, only bacterial mulm which may help to feed your coral and invert (not sure about mandarin will eat them)
