Can I replace my crushed coral with that sand? Or mix them together? I just love the way it looks!

i am not into crushed corals and mixing them together. i believed that defeats the whole purpose of live sand IMO. just keep enough flow all around and you should be fine.

ok here are some more updates, got a chance to finished the sump adding enclosed baffles for all the returns from skimmer and reactors. skimmer was also hooked up but not 100% sure if i tune it right. it says 800gph intake and tunning the air valve. anyone can give me some pointers on tunning the skimmer. do you start with air valve or intake? how much water, it called to have the water below the black neck and adjust it from there.
here are some pics, and excuse the mess.

Did you have to install a whole 'nother breaker panel for your house? I see there are quite a few outlets. How many 20a circuits will you be using?

With a big skimmer like that I always start with the air valvue fully open and then play with the flow till I get it skimming the way I want it to.
This way when you need to adjust a little more when your system matures you only have to mess with one adjustment instead of 2. Just my experience when I had a 2 floor 400gal system.

Looks great BTW
