unscented cat litter is the same as a mud product, its just clay. or you can use sand with a large surface area such as ground coral. both are unique in there own way.

I run a pretty deep sand bed in my fuge because you are suppose to replace mud after a while and I didn't want to be digging around in the fuge and get hit by a bristle worm trying to add more.
It really gets down to your own preference. _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)

| i dont use any UV or ozone on a reef since they kill all bacteria. some of which the corals need. | |

| six of one half a dozen of the other:
plenum, dsb, 1 lb/ gallon, all will work
but if dsb in main, no need in fuge | |
