IMO, You still need to add rock. The sump sand advice wasn't an either/or. The sand is currently inert. until you get nutrients in there that support an Expanding bacterial colonization, it will stay mostly that way.I get it. I have some gnarly flow. Partly why I wanted no sand. I also wanted to encrust corals on the bottom.
I do see an issue with disturbing the sand in the sump or dealing with nutrient build up. But I am struggling with nutrients and paying for additives.
Was going to just add rock. But had the sand and figured why not.
I have a semi tentative meet with J. Fishy. In 2 weeks ish. He's a busy man.IMO, You still need to add rock. The sump sand advice wasn't an either/or. The sand is currently inert. until you get nutrients in there that support an Expanding bacterial colonization, it will stay mostly that way.

Not gonna lie, it's been worth it to see the enthusiasm come back to you, rather than the dread and frustration your posts were tinged with.2 hours after putting a big glob of skimmate in :s
The auto dosing is pretty pogchamp
Im very hype , excited to meet up with Fishy. Get the Refugium going, get some actual coral going again. more fishNot gonna lie, it's been worth it to see the enthusiasm come back to you, rather than the dread and frustration your posts were tinged with.
The sand should be inert..So after adding sand there was cloudy water that cleared up in roughly 2 hours. The tank has a coat of dust. On the algae, dinos etc.
The water quality is crystal clear and the corals are looking good for a change.
Something to it? Was looking into exploring diy coral snow as an additive in the future. Similar concept? Idk
Ehh idk it was a bag I bought maybe 5 years ago. I did not wash hence the dust. No I'll effects just cloudy for 2 hoursThe sand should be inert..
Did you wash the sand before dumping? After adding 80lb into the display, back filling around the rock, I could still see down the length of the tank.
If I could print. LolThose are awesome. I bet you could print those
