After all the stinkin questions

Haha ace, that sounds a bit safer, I had visions of you wandering down to the beach with a bucket...

Solastsummer, i think you will be fine without extra filtration, especially when you get that sump going
 
its a bummer cause im gonna have to build a new cabnet, mine could not house a sump, I think my cabnet was ment for freswater only
 
I am going to see my brothers new baby on march 14-19 hopfully its done cycling by then!
 
Rock and sand is indeed the berlin method and does work, some people supplement it with an additional filter or sump for more rock and sand, keep up on your waterchanges and dont let the bioload get to heavy and i think you should be ok.

I was responding to this.
 
Sure, just clarifying. No need to worry, folks...just clarifying for future references...and because I'm bored at work. ;)
 
.... I hate this... after buying and shipping the 30# of fiji premium rock I'm finding myself wanting 10-15 pounds more...... why am I so wishy washy
 
I put a canister filter on but removed the bio balls, etc. I kept the carbon and the filter pad to catch whatever my skimmer does not. I have heard that a filter is not necessary if you have a great skimmer and do not plan on fish - just coral.
