Whats is a good height above surface of the water for my lighting ?

It really depends on what corals you intend to keep, the coral placements and the lighting you use... if you have not decided on any of the 3 factors... perhaps you can adjust the height of the light fixture later on... :)

The center portion of the sump is for keeping macroalgae? I will suggest adding more fine sand to that compartment to benefit from the anaerobic bacteria activities living in deep sand bed of 4" and above. It can help reduce Nitrate in the long run. It's difficult to add the sand at a later stage. Just a suggestion :) Do check with other reefers... see what they think.

All the best :rolleyes:

And some diggers to help circulate the water inside the sand cause later the nitrate laden water cannot pass.

Blenny, can ? what others ?

:thanks:

I find Sand Dollar quite suitable for the job... but not now... let the sand season a little bit more... try not to stir the sandbed too much... so try not to introduce anything too active <_<

sand dollar only stirs the surface of ur sand... i would suggest hearturchin that ML carries. I bought 4 and it's cleaning deep down my sands which were previously infested by green algae.

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
