    Saltwater Disease (is there help for this)

    HI,
    I don't know why but I have been reading about this neat tank that has little or no subtrate just live rock and I thought hey that 20 fresh sitting right over the sump if it had siphon box drain and I make a simple return out of PVC sit could hold live rockand maybe a few inverets., so I ordered a siphon box for 50 bucks and will build a return and now to buy some base rock the reforguim has plenty of sand as does the 55 so it will just share water with main system that has two skimmers.. maybe some critters will move in to the live rock without predators to eat them, couple shrimp hey:confused: maybe a sea horse they are pretty shy..

    is there a meeting I can attend.

    If you are talking about starting up a Berlin filtration method aquarium ? then you better have a huge skimmer and plenty of good cured L/R about 2 lbs per Gallons at the minimum. But a very efficient skimmer is Key one.. and you want to push the water past the skimmer in the sump about 5 to 6 x's per Hr.
