Ahh. I suppose that would make sense.
Best way to cycle a tank.I’ve always been fond of placing bodies of ex-bosses under rock work. This usually requires a lot of rock but it’s welcome for additional surface area. However, it does require a large, strong tank with additional bracing in the stand. Oh, don’t forget to reinforce the structure if on a second or third floor.
I can see how that could provide some interesting spaces for gobies and whatnot to make a home.
Like the stuff yard signs are made of? Or something solid without the hollow channels?
The material I specifically used, I get in sheets at my work. I’m a prosthetic technician and we use polypropylene to make braces and prosthetic devises. I believe BRS sells sheets of ABS that would suffice. I just didn’t want anything with holes like egg crate due to it being a detritus trap as well as an irritant to sand sifting creatures. Hope this helps!
Yes, thanks. I was wondering if the channels would be a detritus collector. Could also provide homes for critters ya might not want.
I was thinking about small pads of Dri-Dek, which I have under my sump. It'd distribute the weight and since it's lifted off the floor by little posts, there'd be complete flow through the sand -- unimpeded by the walled-off cells you'd have with eggcrate. But chemically, I have no idea how it would affect the water.
