A plenium is a wast of time and space.

Yes the best substrate is a fine grain calcium sand.
And the deeper the better. Just remember to put some
base rock on the glass, and put the sand around it,
and then stack the live rock on top of the base
rock. If you stack rock on the sand, you will
eventually have an avalanche.

Sorry to be buggin you all. I just want to make sure I start things right
before I dive into setting up my new reef tank.

I read on garf.org about setting up a plenum with egg crates?? Anyone know
if this is a good idea?

My preferred substrate of choice will be sand, so I don't think a plenum
will be suitable for that.

thoughts?
