I added a refugium to my sump about 4 months ago so I could increase my pod population for a mandarin. I have 75 gallon display FOWLR. I have live rock rubble and cheato in the refugium. The cheato is growing well and I remove about 1/2 of it every three weeks or so. I have a 60w CF bulb on the refugium 24/7. However lately it seems I am getting quite a buildup of hair alage in the refugium so I was wondering if people typically add a CUC to their refugium. The main purpose of my refugium is to provide enough pods for a mandarin so I would only want to add things that would not deplete the pod population. Any suggestions? My display have a number of hermits, turbo snails, cerith snails and bumblebee snails which have kept any hair alage from accumulating in the main display. Thanks.
