Looks like im setting up a 90 gallon and I really only want a 1/2 inch of sand in it or so. I am going to run this tank against a wall that goes to the utilities room. So in the utilities room I will have a 55gal sump with a bunch of rubble and my skimmer. from there it will pump back to the tank and a second pump will pump it up to my remote dsb then it will run from that tank to my cheato tank.
So here are my questions. I was planning on having my DSB tank a 10-20 gallon and filling it with sand to 8-10 inches then enclosing it with ply wood.
Is there any drawbacks to enclosing it so it isnt getting a lot of light?
What should your flow rate be into a DSB tank and what should it be into the refugium with cheto? I am hoping it will be the same.
I was planning on doing a 3-4 inch sand bed in the refugium as well and adding the cheto and a bunch of cleaner clams. Basically I want to make the main display tank as stable as possible I want to do a nice SPS/LPS tank.
any issues or suggestions with this?
