hi- first time on tonmo.long time reef central junkie. i have already read all the reccomended reading and am fairly confident i can keep a bimac.
one thing i do have a question about is the choice of substrate. well not the choice of substrate i guess but the depth of the sand bed. i gather the best substrate is a smaller particle sand bed ie southdown or pure carribean aragonite{what i use in my reef 55, 5 in deep- have had good sucess with this so far}
is it better to have an inch deep bed that you vacumn to remove waste or a live dsb{6 inches deep} with all fauna it provides and or accomodates?
do the octos produce solid waste that could be vacumned?
