I am going to start building my 210 in wall next week. I was originally going to put a DSB in the 210. Now I've been thinking that if I made a fuge big enough would a DSB in the tank be necessary? I was thinking about a 75 gallon rubbermaid stock tank from rural king for the fuge, with a dsb, chaeto, mangroves, etc. Would that be enough for the 210 as well?

I have a 65 with a 30 gallon sump and a 20 gallon fuge. There's a couple of inches of sand in the tank and 3 or 4 in the fuge. I also have cheato that grows like nobody's business. My nitrates are 0 so I'm happy. Your ratio is the same so you should be fine. Just be sure to have adequate lighting over the fuge.

I have sand about an inch and a fuge full of cheato and rocks(60 gal) all is well.
