zero impact
I'm going to try to be as close to zero or VERY low reef impact with my new aquarium. And Aragocrete made according to the recipe at garf.org is a whole lot cheaper than buying any sort of rock...

cement
Exactly what kind of cement have all of you used? And, where did you buy it? I used Target PSI 6000 from Home Depot. I wanted to use Lafarge 50 but they only had 10. :confused:

reef tables
Has anyone tried to make the reef tables mentioned by GARF? They sound like an excellent idea to have small footprint on our DSB's.

Just like in the display tank larger is better. I would say use the 33 for the sump and the 20 for the refugium. Unless you don't have the space to use them together. There are many articles...
