Id still get rid of the coral rubble in the sump mate , The amount of detritus that would break down in there would surprise you

i.d still get rid of the coral rubble in the sump mate , The amount of detritus that would break down in there would surprise you

what would the differance with coarse coral ruble and live rock be thought it would be the same

 

[Luke]

Not really a huge difference between the two , But with the coral rubble sitting in the bottom of the sump , uneaten food etc will find its way there , Get under some of them and decay and build up , Its not a DSB ? but it still looks fairly deep , Give it a quick gravel vac and look at the water you get from it , You wouldn't vac if its a DSB tho

its about 1.5" deep and is really coarse rubble lots of shrimps and star fish (brittle) and other critters crabes etc craw through it if i vac wont i lose all this?
