    UV sterilizer question

    I actually did have the return going into the return chamber but found that there were lots of micro bubbles going into my main tank. The next closest place to dump the UV outlet water was the fuge.

    Refugium sand

    going to start a 22g refugium under my 220g. I wanted to use most of the left over sand from my old 60g that I upgraded from. My question about this has to do with the fact that my nitrates on my old tank were through the roof!! Is it a good idea to rinse the old sand and use it in my refugium?
