Sandless Fuge?

I couldn't go :( What else did they talk about?

He covered a lot about sump design that he has learned over the years of building and planning out different sumps. Also the mention I made about my flow that is running through my sump which is probably around 600 - 700gph after SQWD etc. on my 58 gallon tank is probably just fine. He mentioned a 10 to 15 time turnover volume through your sump and any more flow you want in your tank come from powerheads, closed loop, etc.
Of course mine looks very calm in my sump as it's almost the same size as my tank. Very good information and you can find all kinds on his website at www.melevsreef.com if you've never been there.

Thanks for the heads up. Melevsreef is a great website for info and experiences.

Cliff, although I have sand in my sump/fuge, I pointed a MJ1200 into a corner so it tumbles my chaeto. As long as you have enough, it should stay put. Why not just DSB it and yank the skimmer? You would probably be fine with enough macro...

Then I can't watch that huge Octopus Extreme 300 at work.
