    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]i have a 56g tank and was wondering if[/FONT]CPR AquaFuge2 Medium 19" (hob 3.6 gallons) will be too big for my tank for an extra 10 beans i can get a 25.5 inch (4.7 Gallons).

    second question if i was to buy pods how do i accumulate them to the tank with out mixing water?

    always get the largest sump possible for your tank, whatever can fit in the stand.

    Always get bigger if it fits, I have a 55g though, and had to go with the medium because the large wouldn't fit. Get the medium prob, unless the large fits. If ya get the medium get 3 pounds of miracle mud, or 5 lbs for the large! Then order some chaeto loaded with pods from ebay or reef cleaners.com then when you get them, float to acclimate temp and drop in with lights out so the pods don't get decimated. I seeded A TON with different types of pods over 3 months!

    With pods you pretty much have to dump the water in. This is why it is important to know where it comes from. I haw trusted reefcleaners in the pat each time and I have never had an issue
