Re: Plenum versus Refugium

most plenums troubles are caused by critters in the sandbed. you need a good 3-4" of undisturbed substrate on top of the voided space. small micro screens work great in preventing the critters from burrowing down and exposing the voided space to higher levels of O2 and releases all the bad stuff back into the water.
