    I am wondering if I should do a DSB or an Algal Turf Scrubber in my 29gal fuge. I currently do have 2 softball sized Chaeto in there and about 2 - 2.5 inches of oolite sand.

    DSB:
    Would a DSB of 5 inches enough to support my 125gal (will be reef in 6 months)? Do I have to stir the sandbed once in a while to prevent a "crush?" (stir in both the MT and fuge?)

    Algal Turf Scrubber:
    How much macro algae is consider enough to support my 125gal? Is it more effective than DSB?

    Thanks!
