Most of my rock is 1-3" round, the best I could find as far as pourus. What inverts are acceptable to place in the he first chamber with the rock rubble? All I currently have for filtration is a surface skimmer overflow to sump. 1st chamber rock rubble, second mineral mud with 1 in of sand cover, 3rd chamber skimmer and return pump. I have about 20 snails through out the sump. 2 med feather dusters in center refrig. as well. A tenticle starfish in rock rubble and a couple of yellow sea slugs. What am I missing? I tried some chaeto but it died in the refrig. and I removed as much as I could. I have compact flor. over refrig 24h. total sump size is about 5-7 gal, holding about 4 gal now. tank size is 46 gal bowfront.
