What should I stock my refugium with? I have the CPR HOB 12" refugium. I have the mud, 1 bush of chateo, three small chunks of LR. There are some pods but not much. All this is attached to my 29gal main tank.

What else can I stock in the refugium?

you are off to a good start, the live rock will filter and the cheato is a goo nutrient export. my fuge is filled to the brim with LR and a mess of cheato, I also have some xenia in there and it grows like mad. but you are off to a good start. I would suggest putting as much LR in there as you can good luck :D

thats all you need for now. your pods should multiply and you are good to go. if you want you can order a detrivore kit which you can get from inland aquatics thats what I did and my refugium is over run whith little critters it great.(inlandaquatics.com)

Many people put the lights on when the main tank lights are off, as to help stabilize the ph.

yeah I would suggest opposite of the main tank for your lighting schedule.
