Now I'm trying to figure out how to engineer a small Gyre into the mix.
Are you up to 17 liters of siporax now? Are you going to end up building a second basket and pull out some of the live rock in your sump? I know you'll only build up enough bacteria to handle the bio lode of your tank, but if you're pulling out some of that stack of live rock to put in the siporax I can see a major detritus trap going away. I wonder if that'll push your levels so low that you'll need to start dosing to keep detectable levels of nitrate and phosphate in the system. It'll be interesting to track with so many messy fish in the tank.
