I am in the process of researching many issues related to reef keeping with my system design in mind. I wanted to put my thoughts out here that contrary opinions may be aired. Thus exposing me to ideas that have not occurred to me.
Assumption: it is very beneficial to expose as much of the sandbed as possible to overall water flow for the main purpose of nutrient exchanges and to minimize nutrient buildup.
I plan to build a (rock) frame network of PVC that is also connencted in part(not full flow) to the return circut. The frame will contain drilled holes of a yet to be determined size and be sturctured in such a way as to support rock at many different angles and with overhangs as well. All rock will be at least 1.5-2 inches above sandbed. Comments please!? :columbo:
