Very informative.

I myself advocate this type of sand bed.

Since andito na rin yung thread, might I add this for supplemental reading (including references)

This one is from the may edition of FAMA, by Bob Goemans

Mga writeup ni Bob Goemans una kong nabasa 5-6 years ago when I started and I did a plenum based nano and after a white the combo plenum/dsb mini reef.

@randell - kasi long ago I got into this debate foray in the web and back then kumakampi pa me kay Goeman/Jaubert setup/Monaco Method which uses plenums. Kasi nga ok yung nano at mini reef ko which had plenums.

Though I was (and many plenum advocates back then) proven wrong with Toonens experiment, it was good as the DSB+macroalgae method is now an established component of filtration of reef tanks.

had to ask if what i did to my dsb/fuge is correct..

i placed 3" of 00 sand then put 4" of (don't know the exact size but they seem comparable to rock salts) sand. it is so because i ran out of 00 sand.
