I am just running a berlin turbo hang-on skimmer in the first slot, like 30lbs of live rock and caulerpa in the fuge and that drains through a foam filter into the last area for the return. I want sand just because it looks better, supports live rock, possibly have some life form in it and a good place to plant a plant or 2 in the future..
Astrea- I will keep in touch with you because I want that fish and would definetly take that sand off your hands as well.. since your out in imperial it might be a week before I can get out there.. are you in a hurry to get everything out? I know how that sales stuff goes.
