Refugium Set Up correctly?

[digleftnose]

Hi, any gurus can advise if i have set up my refugium correctly? I am currently facing tons of brown algae on my 422.

Hi, don't mind me hijacking your post. Where did you get those mangroves?

Correct me if I’m wrong but is that lower layer of substrate miracle mud?

Looking good but your refugium looks like it could use a wider spread of lighting bro

My guess is from the wild.. but that’s just a wild guess

Cause tbh I’ve never seen any LFS selling mangroves let alone mangrove saplings but I see plenty of saplings on some of our northern shores

I plucked those mangroves from Pasir Ris Park. Don't know how useful it will be or how long it will last.

Can someone help to ID the other two plants? Not sure if it's usefull for refugium or just some seaweed for fish to nibble on. 

I have been running my tank for about five years now. Recently rebuilt the entire tank about a month ago. And yes, the below half was the miracle mud from 5 years ago. I topped it up with new live sand.
