    So I posted a while ago on this subject, I expected it to change but it hasn't. So im here to ask for some expert advice. About 3 months ago, I added a lot of sand to my tank. I didn't use proper methods and ended up burring a lot of things :|. Lesson learned. But everything has settled, all...

    Too much live rock? bad design? .... what do I need, or what can I do?

    I decided to go with 2 islands.. already looks much better! I just have sump, its 3 chambers, with a skimmer in the first chamber. then a 6 inch sand bed then a return pump. When i moved everything it got really really cloudy. there was a ton of sediment in the sand. is that normal?

    Too much live rock? bad design? .... what do I need, or what can I do?

    Too much live rock? bad design? .... what do I need, or what can I do?

    So here is my issue, and maybe a general discussion as well. I have a 55 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump.

    I have live rock in my tank but i don't have corals or fish yet. The question i want to ask is about sand stone. I have access to some really beautiful sand stone rocks that are ocean rocks. I am wondering the pros and cons of using rocks that are from the ocean already, but it would be bone...
