Hi guys, I don't have any extra space (I guess I can try to experiment w/ a HOB fuge in my sump but I probably won't have the space.

I have a compartment in my sump however that is maybe 10 gallons total (it's 40g sump)... my display is 70g... I was going to put live rock (I can't put sand in because of my baffles leaving a space at the bottom so the sand would just flow through.

So just live rock and Chaeto... will I be able to harvest enough to help w/ export of nutrients?

I have a power head I'll run in there to help the chaeto tumble and was going to connect just an LED like desktop lamp or something to hang over and shine down.
