Hey all, it's been about 15 years since i've been into the hobby, and I'm just now getting back in (thank god). I am currently running a 60 gallon uniquarium with the venturi skimmer, two 96 watt 50/50 bulbs, and a wavemaster pro wavemaker with 4 maxi jet power heads. I'll be picking up 50 lbs of live rock (fiji Buna), and i would like to add about four inches of live sand. I'm hearing great things about a deep sand bed. I would like to have mostly hearty corals and poylps, with a few blennies and maybe a couple of clowns. I don't plan on overstocking the tank, but i don't want it looking spase either. Can anybody recommend whether or not I should remove all the bio balls and replace with them with rubble rock? it would seem i would still get all the good filtration without the risk of too much nitrate build up. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, what advice if any, on UV lighting?
Thanks for any help,
Rich
