I just got my 30 gallon tank to set up my refugium. I am going to add a skimmer and so on. My questions are these:
1.DO I need a sock to catch "excess" debris? One LFS guy said I do and the other said no, not needed because they do not have a sock in the ocean to catch excess debris.
2. Since I live in FLA, is it ok for me to go to the nearest pristine #1 beach to grab some sand and water to use for my refugium? I was planning on going to Ft. DeSoto park and grabbing some sand to throw in the bottom. I did grab some before to put into the bottom of my 150 DT, and it was loaded with clams and other little happy fun things. So would this work well enough as a base for my refugium?
