we have decided to put everythink into a 3ft tank as the tank on the pic is only about 21\2 ft but i carnt decide wether to put coral sand or coral gravel ??? also i am ashomming that as long as all the water that is in the old tank is put in the new tank everythink hopefully should be ok and i have found a ro unit which i am going to bid on as well i was thinking off turning the old tank into a sump but not quite sure how or which way to do it any idears would be great |

youve got some work to do there pennie good luck with it |

thist make sure how old the water is and when last a waterchange has been carried out otherwise it is wise to only use 70% off mature water and top up with new water as you should do a fortnight waterchange of 30% in any case.as for gravel you should decide if you gonna run a plenum system with 4 inches of gravel or not i have a plenum with 2 inches crushed coral and 2 inches fine gravel on top wich seems to work fine |
