I am trying to find out the appropriate substrate for a FOWLR tank. I have a 2 inches high substrate, made up of 2mm to 5 mm sized aragonite/crushed coral in my FOWLR 45G, I am still cycling the tank so there is no livestock in it yet.
I am thinking of putting some live sand on top of it because I hear that the substrate I have may trap detritus. Is this a good idea ? Since I don’t plan to have a DSB in this tank what depth of live sand should I put on top of it ?
