treesprite September 7, 2007 September 7, 2007 would there be any benefit in putting a DSB in a 10g nano? It's not a big area, but it's also a very small system
rioreef September 7, 2007 September 7, 2007 would there be any benefit in putting a DSB in a 10g nano? It's not a big area, but it's also a very small system After that put some Cheato in there and you have a refugium. Not much water to begin with. I would put a shallow layer only or none at all.
treesprite September 8, 2007 Author September 8, 2007 that's what I figured, but figured also that I should ask.... thanks.
jason the filter freak September 8, 2007 September 8, 2007 Lol deep sand bed is like 6" that would leave you a miniscule space for your fish. Though for fun you could run a remote deep sand bed in a jar, jug, or bucket.

Though for fun you could run a remote deep sand bed in a jar, jug, or bucket. Well, here's the thing, I have a 16g fw in my office that I decided to not convert because the dimensions make it too deep (16g has a square face), and it's just not realistic to stack rock that high in those dimensions. Now I'm thinking, if I put a dsb in it, the sand would take up the extra height. The question though, is, would a 4" to 6" dsb be helpful in that size of a system?

Seems like a good idea to me, but there's only one way to find out . . . Let us know how it goes.
jason the filter freak September 10, 2007 September 10, 2007 DO it! Yea go for it, you get to see all the sand sifting critters
treesprite September 11, 2007 Author September 11, 2007 I guess I will need some sand. Probably will have to wait for a tank breakdown when someone won't mind giving it away.
treesprite September 14, 2007 Author September 14, 2007 it's not hard to find. that's how I got the sand I have now... 2 separate people (I washed the daylights out of it - probably lost 1/3rd of it down the drain)
