Wet/Dry or Fuge

[dwhit0102]

I am currently setting my new 65 aga RR aquarium. I'm going barebottom, i needed to know which one to use a Wet/Dry or Sump/Fuge. Any suggestions are appreciated.

True BB setups don't use Wet/Dry or Fuge. Sump should have a kick butt skimmer and that's it.

Thanks are there any ways to keep nitrates down if they rise.

Assuming you follow the basic steps of BB set-up nitrates shouldn't be a problem. Once mine was established (about 2 years old) trates never show in testing. Try the barebottom thread. It's got lots of good info.
