I have a 46 gal bow front tank and am looking for advice in the sump, wet/dry, refugium or filter area.
I have read that I would not need this if I used 2 lbs of live rock per 1 gallon of water. Currently I do not have that much but would like to slowly acquire it in time. Until I do what would you recommend I use for filtration? Would a refugium work? or should I go with a wet/dry or sump? What is the difference between a sump and wet/dry? Any ideas or comments?
What would be best and also cost effective.
Does the sand make a difference?
I have lots of crushed coral (100 lb bag). I read that I could use old Kastle paver sand? Where would I get this and could I add it slow over time and mix it with the crushed coral or would that not be a good idea?
