BB versus DSB

[Fireworm]

Teh way I have my tank set up is with a shallow bed. Maybe 2 to 2.5 inches of sand. just enough to see it over the black trim of the tank. In my sump area I have a 15g garbage can with about 100lbs of sand in it for my RDSB. The original idea came from Anthony Calfo. i run roughly 300gph over it to keep stuff from setteling on top. So far it worked good for teh last owner and will hopefully do the same for me. I have read on this site that dsb in the fuge was not always the best idea. I know it will not work in my case, because of the weight issue along. My fuge will be above my tank and be gravity feed into the tank.

That sounds like a great way to do it having the DSB in a side area. Keep us posted on how it works for you fireworm. Also I ordered a Diamond Watchman Gobie from the LFS. I always thought they were cool fish so we'll see if it helps my sand.

With a diamond gobie make sure that you have a tight fitting lid as I have had two commit suicide by jumping both made it through eggcrate.
