DSB VS BIOBALLS

[Timbits]

i was going to put in baffles and section it off. do you think a DSB and a lot of chaeto would be ok i dont really want to put any live rock as there isnt much room in the sump

the juvies will be fed a variety of foods from new spectrum pellets, flakes, brine shrimp, mysis, krill, and home made mush!

For filtration, you can use live rock, skimming, activated carbon, gfo (granular ferric oxide for phosphate removal) and water changes.

What were you planning on feeding the juvi clowns?

The chaeto will help, definitely. The sand will be interesting to watch what develops.
You'll know that the sand bed is getting overwhelmed if detritus settles on it for any length of time (quick, like more than 1/2 hour).
Sand beds take a couple of months to develop before they can really start processing the waste.
If you're not placing any corals in there you could also incorporate some filter socks into your filter system.
