Mdwannabe,
No problems asking the questions. I think it was a good question, I just wanted to make sure I came off sounding diplomatic about it, because it is purely my oppinion and preference. Hope that helped you some in deciding what you want to do.
I have yet to totally find out if I will have nitrate problems etc because of a lack of a dsb. I plan not to, by being aggressive with my nutrient removal. Time will tell though. Good luck
I wish the tank was bigger already. It would have been about the same ammount of effort to make it 2feet longer and a foot deeper.
However Seeing your first comment, I dont know if you are implying how long I will be happy with the way I planned everything out and did it.
I was very patient and careful in planning, I did not rush antyhing. I did make changes as things on the project progressed.
I can say that I wouldnt change anything. I did end up spending more money than I had planned, but oh well. I really took a lot of care and effort to think about every aspect, and most importantly how to make husbandry more effective and efficient at the same time. I might make tweeks here or there such as adding my tunze streams, getting that deltec setup etc. But I wouldnt take back any of my planning of flow, sump area, my equipment and such. I really enjoy this hobby and love to just sit and watch my reef. I also enjoy helping others out(why i started the thread), and eventually get my coral collection big enough to start fragging out. I think it will be years before and if i decide to take the step to a larger tank. This is supposed to be an enjoyable hobby, and I enjoy lots of cognition.
