I have found that while having a refugium with deep

is not able to do the same as a deep sand bead
located in the main aquarium where the action is at.

I have gone without a dsb and have had much better results. They are
fine if you have the right maintenance, but without the right setup it's
a detritus sink. I read a thread on Reef Frontiers where Anthony Calfo
discussed that the successful dsb tanks have great flow, a great
skimmer, and a balance of bioload, cleanup crew and dsb fauna. He stated
that for most hobbyists it will save a lot of headaches if you go ssb or
bb.

He recommends the remote dsb as a trouble free option while reaping the
benefits of a dsb.- Hide quoted text -

others are usuing a sand "bed"..see what did I tell you about this

sand bed up his poop chute.but then againb it may be the norm for this
clown.

How many times do I have to keep correcting the ****ing subject?
****ing children need to leave their wanking hands off the subject.
