Berlin Method - Who uses it?

Thought about adding a secondary tank to the system to put a ton of live rock to provide more natural filtration for the tank.

Anybody else do this for their tanks? Do you think it's helped in regards to keeping Nitrates down?

Thoughts?

I have never ran a system like this but I am curious to know.

My frag system has a similar set up, a section of the sump is all live rock, with no rock in the main tank. Rubble rocks allows the greatest surface area, and that is a fact, not JMO

Oh, and it works quite well, I do have a skimmer as well.

Me too. There was a Spotlight within the last year that used this, ran one of those huge Rubbermaid trough like containers with a ton of live rock in it.

I was considering the same thing, adding a 100gal container, but then again, I really don't want to add another 100gal to the system. (more water/salt for bigger water changes)
