Just my own. 02 I think hobbyists get too hung up on turnover rate. I am speaking in reference to a reef tank. IMO what is much more important is water motion. Many people strive for a 10 time turnover rate with their return pump. Failing to realize that number diminishes quickly as your filter...

But you do understand what i am getting at ?

I would just remember the ordination you had with one coral to another. I would try to duplicate that initially indiscriminant placement of coral can lead to a stinging and or chemical war

let me rephrase my question. is your refug connected to your DT ? if so are you useing a pump to reintroduce the water from your refug to your DT. if so does the pump have some kind of filter on its suction or discharge side

how are you going to get the pods from your refug to your DT if you have filter media in between the refug and water return

what kind of flow do you have passing over it.BTW ever look into a Duncan. I found mine much easier to keep then an elegance

Just a side note on your leather coral. Forgive me it you already know this. Leathers will retract their polyps and get a waxy coating over the entire coral. This may seem to the new hobbyist like their coral is dying. This is a normal sequence of events. Once they “shed” and open up again they...

My .02 make sure you have plenty of Rotifers on hand and look into hatching your own brine shrimp
