 Would this refugium/sump help?
Hey all, I've recently been in some discussion on another thread in the newbie area about a new tank setup, only to find that my setup wasn't quite right. I have an undergravel plates and the uplifts that my power heads are attached too. I have troubles with nitrates and it came out that maybe the undergravel is at least part of the cause. Many suggestions came out but some of them were about using fuge or DSB. Well, don't know that I can make a DSB now with the fish and rock and everything. But I don't have lighting for a fuge yet or even the fuge itself for that matter. Was still thinking of converting my wet/dry, but I'm wondering, would it help to even just have a fuge with live sand in it without the macro algae?
