Still I would ditch the ceramics! They will likely be a source of nitrates further down the road.

Sorry to hijack, but Drew wouldn't the ceramics act sort of as live rock or are they super porous and act more like a sponge?

In my personal experience, they just collected tons of detritus. It wasn't a good scene, as I wasn't really fond of cleaning them every few days.

Check out a this site www.nano-reef.com . Do a search or join and ask there what people are doing to their RSMs. Lots of tweaking going on and some cool ideas.
