Debris in sump

[TJDeMars]

I thank you both, I think Dakar has probably hit it on the head. Is that a sign of over feeding or just a normal occurance? I've been considering re-doing the baffles in my sump to turn a portion into a fuge, How much lighting does a fuge need? Halide or would pc's do fine?

Pretty normal, they can be attributed to a lot of things, higher nutrients, lighting that has shifted out of spectrum, stuff like that. As for lighting on your fuge you can use whatever you like, though halide lighting is probably a bit extreme except for a super deep fuge 24" or more. Personally I prefer the power compact flood lamps, self ballasted, cheap, efficient, and lower in color tempurature more targeted to growing macroalgaes.
