Hello,
I am new to RC and soon to be new to the wonderful world of saltwater.
I've had both a 29 and a 55 gallon freshwater tank for years now and have always wanted to get into saltwater and with the help of those in these forums I hope to have my first setup soon.
Thanks in advance for all of your useful knowledge!

It has a lot to do with trapping detritus.
There are plenty of threads on the subject for and against you can make your own decision:
This one
and this one favors CC
and this one
and this one
and the list goes on, if you want to research it more you can do a search "crushed coral" and it's come up with pages of thread.

Thanks, I guess I have a lot of reading to do now. Learned a lot on here so far and sure I haven't even scratched the surface.
 
Introduction: setting up FOWLR 150 gal tank since 8/2009. Once I've got experience under my belt and money in my budget, I'll most likely go reef in another (75 or 90 gal? already own the reef lighting for it) tank. In the current tank, I have finally gotten a protein skimmer and improved the efficiency of the plumbing. My nitrates are (1.0) low and still dropping

I want to enjoy the experience of having an aquarium while making as healthy an ecosystem as possible for the tank inhabitants.

Although I can solve problems in general, I am all thumbs when it comes to DIY and rely heavily on others for those kind of changes. I want to use a refugium but have serious space constraints under the cabinet. I am currently trying different solutions to see how I can introduce some biological filtration in a converted bio-ball sump with a mag 18 pump in one compartment and a large Deltec TS1250 skimmer in the other.

I do reading on my own but forum information and shared experience continues to be a big help to me (and my tank's inhabitants).

Currently I have 2 Oscellaris/false clownfish, firefish, royal gramma basslet, pygmy cherub angelfish, sailfin tang, foxface, 2 cleaner shrimp, blue-legged hermit crabs, assorted snails, red tree sponge, orange sponge, purple gorgonia, and (oddly enough) dragon's eye zoa.
 
Hello all, I've been lurking for a few months and thought I should at least post a message in the Welcome Forum. Current system is a 160 Gallon total system Mixed Reef, I still have so much to learn so I will get back to reading...

[welcome] Actually I have a converted wet/dry sump. all I did was remove all the trays and added some acrylic baffles and instant sump.

Read, read, read and read some more, but don't forget to put that knowledge to play.
Good luck with your 160.

A 34 gallon is way too small to have tangs. that hippo will need a new home as well when it gets bigger.
