I've had my little 20 long prop tank setup with a aquaclear fuge and little Biocube skimmer and a good chunk of LR. I'm wanting more room, better volume and filtration, so I just ordered everything I needed to drill it and a sump/fuge/better skimmer. I have a few questions about substrate. I planned of having the skimmer/LRR in the first chamber of the sump with small DSB/Cheato in the second.
What I have questions about is the display. I'm going to be using Mag 3 for return with K1's for flow. It's not a ton of flow, but water does move around. Is is worth it, from a filtration aspect to add a small sand bed in the display or is it mainly done for asthetic reasons? I only have a six line wrasse and CBS in there along with a few snails, so bioload won't be much. I'm also debating having an egg crate bottom or just a shelf up top. A lot of the frags/colonies I want to grow out in there are on rocks, not plugs.
For those of you with grow out systems, what do you prefer?
