    My setup is the same just go look at my build thread. With an atoll setup it will be difficult fo you to prevent dead spots without some sort of flo pushing from the front into the atoll area. If you are determined to use just 2 powerhead I would place them at the back near the corners pointed...

    Water top off

    I go through sediment filters like once a month...it's ridiculous. My next rodi will be a commercial grade system. To answer your question though I think the filter guys have earned their reputation and you will be happy with your choices. The one thing I have to add is to not jump down to...

    For example my last fuge was appx. 20Gallons. The sand bed was about 8" deep. I never cleaned it either. As far as teh granule size I mix them together vs doing a layered approach. I then add in my LR rubble throughout the top 3" of sand and finally place my actual LR pieces on top.

    A sand bed in a refugium should be a deep sand bed if it is going to be used. It should also consist of several different grain sizes of sand. This will allow the maximum diversity of life in there. The sand will also act as a PH buffer if the light is ran on a reverse cycle from the display...

    Between Canyon road and portland Ave there is a home that sells 55G food grade barrels for 20$. You'll need to rinse them out, but they are great for storing water.
