Hey all! I currently have a 125 with FOWLR. In my tank I have 2 clowns, 1 damsel, LM Blenny, and 1 yellow wrasse. Also have about 55 LBS of LR and CC as a bed…..(I know bad idea)!!!
Anyway, Im looking to buy a 75-125 gallon SW and do the same except have more LR and live sand. My question is I hear of some people using nothing but LR for filteration and maybe a skimmer.
I know a lot of people are dead set on the wet dry and this is what I have as well for my 125. However, Im thinking of simply using a 15 gallon tank as a sump, dropping in a skimmer and maybe a UV sterilizer along with some smalls pumps for water movement. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? I really don’t see any benefit to buying a “sump” with the filteration other than a sponge to filter out the big pieces of stuff coming from the tank…hope this makes sense.
