Just to expand your knowledge you can research building pvc tables to place the rocks on in a saltwater aquarium

They are definitely one of the corals that there is no formula for keeping them alive in your tank

Flow in your tank will need to be addressed If you are keeping corals you don’t want the flow so strong that you encourage sweeper tentacles which can sting near by corals

you tell me why you think you need from 2 to 4 inches of sand

Well I was speaking specifically about caulerpa. If we keep the lights on 24/7 the caulerpa will continue to grow and reduce nitrates and phosphates in our tank. Now with constant pruning all should remain well. The caulerpa has its mind if you will on just growing because it has all that it...

My own 2 cents (but what the hell do I know).First you may never see zero nitrates nor do you really need to. As far as your tank cycling organic matter, once you establish the bacteria for the conversion from ammonia to nitrates you do not start your cycle over every time you add to your bio...

are we talking about a drilled tank

Actually ph control is secondary to nutrient export when you use a higher form of algae in your refuge. Many hobbyists leave there refuge lights on 24/7 for that reason
