I'm building a fuge that will have a DSB and i'm looking for some advice on what to build it with.
The fuge area in 33 x 12 (it's a 45 gal tank).
It's been recommended to me to use a 1.5" bed of Fiji Mud topped off with another 5-6" of Arag-alive sugar sand. Looking into it, this is a Big $$ setup. The sump will be on my 60 gallon frag setup.
I'm not looking to cheap out, but was hoping you might have some input as to what sands I can use, and in what amounts. Is the mud necessary? should I do a couple inches of live sand and the put non-alive sugar sand or aragonite? Any and all input (minus the DSB debate) would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc
