So I have a 56g display (tall) with a 20 g refugium/sump(no water in it)
I added 60 lb of LS(from bag) into the water, most of the haze has cleared up, but there is still sand on wall and I keep knocking it down then the tank gets hazy and it comes back, is this normal?
Second I'm adding glass dividers to 20g to make an input / skimmer section , refugium / DSB (4-6 inch) ,and a return pump section.
I'm planning on buying live rock from The Fish Place in Ft worth Texas and
making the DSB in the finished sump and adding live rock to both tanks.
Will I need to buy sand shifters since I have seeded live rock and bagged LS?
( I have my display has been cycling for 3 weeks with 6.5 lb of live rock
And I dont see any movement in the sand or anything)
Will I need to get any other bacteria , algae , pods or etc for my DBS or overall system?
Will this system be able to support a heavy bio load (octopus)?
How much flow should I have my pump's max is 600ish gph?
Could I use Macro algae instead of liverock and get the same filtration?
And is there anything I haven't thought about , so I don't get a nasty suprise.
