[cat 1]

im just now getting my first refugium together,what all do i need to put in it? ie;plants,live rock,LR rubble,live sand,and critters? Any sugg. appreciated!!

All of the above. Sand(take some from an established aquarium to seed it with), rock rubble gives a place for the coepods and such to hide and feel safe and help them multiply and using a macro like chaeto helps export nutrients from your tank.

Thanx Dr Reef!Could i get by w/a high wattage fluor, light for a 20g long that im using?

Yes...you could even get by with a 6500k incandescent light...from home depot.... But anything up to 10k pc lighting would work fine!!!
