Well I'm this weekend I'm going to remove the Crush Coral Under
Gravel filter and replace it with live sand sand. I 've purchases 20 lbs of live and 40 lbs of reef sand from the lfs.
I have had nothing but problems for the lastfour months with the undergravel crush coral. I'm down to two fish only in my 55 gallon. A Clown and a LMB. I also have some cleaner crew inverts.
Let me know what you think of my plan for this Saturday:
1.Purchase 20 gallons of premixed RevO water from LFS
2. Fill a 10 gallon bucket with tank water, power head, small air pump and small heater. Place fish and Inverts in the bucket
2.5 .Remove power heads, filter etc,
3. Fill a 32 gallon new trash can with tank water. Place 75 lbs of live rock in the bucket.
4. Remove Crush Coral and undergravel filter from Tank.
5. Fill bottom of tank with combo on LSSand to a 2 inch depth.
6 Fill tank with New Water from LFS.
7 Place Live rock in Tank
8. Top OFF water from trash can.
9 Return power heaeds, heater, filter, skimmer. Let equipment run for some time to settle things down. 2 hours?
10. Return Fish and Inverts.
So will this work? Is 2 inches of sand enough for a Fish and Invert only tank? What do think?
Thanks For Any Advice
