miracle mud & skimmers

[amehel0]

skimming does not remove trace elements corals do.skiiming removes micro nutrients. and mm is a waste of tim when you can run dsb!!!!

theres another spanner in the works,,,i used to run a dsb and have just replaced it in favour of mm

 

[amehel0]

how deep was it? 1'? the tank im about to setup will have a 1'1" dsb!

 

[danny]

do you mean 13 inc ?????

 

[amehel0]

yeh im gonna run a 13" dsb but imo a dsb has to be atleast 1' deep preferably 2'

wow thats news to me,my dsb was only 6"

well for fficient de nitration the deeper the better.if i had he room id do a hell load more then 2' something like 3' or 4' in a 6" diamter pvc pipe

skimmer is optional ive seen tank with skimmers and mm and just mm and no difference in water Q or coral health... sell the skimmer for more fish or corals

useing a 6" pipe sounds like a cool idea i think i will give this a try and run it as well as mm,have you got any drawings of how this would work(or pics)

well only to a point, once there is basically no water movement excess depth is superfluous to footprint...

say the minimum depth for 0 water current is a foot
having a 2' deep 6'' PVC would be as good as a 1' 12'' pipe filled with sand

if that makes any sense
