    i have just over 10kilos of live rock rubble, rustling with life and have added it to my sump but am wondering on a few things

    obviously laying this out on the floor could pose an issue later on in time, what with bits gathering at the bottom due to poor water circulation and so on.
    so, i decided to build it up into a wall covering a 45 degree angle from corner to corner with good spacing between it but it has taken most of the sump space up now and am wondering if i could build it under the water inlet, all in one corner with a holed pipe to the bottom or would this make things hard for life on the rocks

    Do whatever looks good to you, don't worry about debris getting stuck there, if there isn't anything there then what will all the living organisms eat ;)
