I have a DSB in the fuge section of my sump. It is 20" wide, 12" across and about 5" of sand.
I'm debating taking all the sand out and putting rubble LR in its place. I think it would buffer the water better and keep my pH a little more stable and make it higher(I topoff lime water to keep it between 8.0 and 8.1.)
When Marc did his presentation at the meeting a few months back he said a DSB this small will do almost no good. Plus there is always the risk of it crashing your tank.
Anyone have an opinion?
