sump questions

[rngrjeremy]

Ok not sure what size my sump is but its attached to a 110 gal tank. it is a sealife pro series 150 wet dry sump and has a skimmer designed with it. There are 3 compartments and it had bio balls which i took out. as you can see in the pics i dont have anything in there.. i use to use live rock on my previous sumps/tanks but the ammont of live rock i would place in the there wouldnt do much good as i have tons more in the tank then i would be able to place in the sump.... just looking for advice...

I dont follow you on the liverock. Anyways having liverock rubble in there could be quite beneficial for pod growth and additional bacteria colonies, micro brittle population and much more. If you can get a picture of the far right side of the sump it might also help guide you.

I thought having a thick sandbed, or mud bed, will do the job too. Is this true? Or it must be the rock rubbles required for pod growth?

The deepsand bed is great but he may not have the ability (this is why I asked for further picture so maybe we can set up as fuge) Mud IMO is a bit of a hoax, in theory great but what are you really buying in those buckets? Be weary of sheeps in wolfs clothing. lol

But NO a deep sandbed and mud have nothing to do with pod growth where as the rubble rock especialy does.

Does It Have To Be Rubble Or Will A Nice Large Piece Do?
