This is my first sump set up, I've heard the argument of rock in the sump and detritus build up in the past. I do have a bit that I try and clean out with water changes, but find the filter socks do help with this. I also have some lr in there already, smaller pieces that I couldn't make work in the dt. I have an 86 gl sump so loads of room.
I've treated the tank with chemiclean for cyano and lights are now off for 3 days. Once the cyano clears I'm going to rearrange the rocks, likely power heads as well. when I change out the water this weekend, it'll go in bins so I can pull the rocks out to work in the tank. The way I initially laid out the rocks was to cover up the corner overflows and tried to have an open scape in the middle, but I love the islands so am going to work towards that look.

When I originally did my 90g aquascaping I had more LR than I needed, but I didn't want to waste it so I stuffed it all in and it looked OK but I was never happy with it. I finally decided to bite the bullet and remove pieces (and not worry about hiding my corner overflow) and the more I took out the better it looked. I ended up with a couple islands and arches and the open space really made it look more natural and allowed for better flow. I admit I did use acyrlic rod and zip ties to hold some pieces together because I didn't have some larger pieces to span some areas to my liking. Sorry no pics as I rarely photograph my tanks. I think I've posted one tank shot since I came to Canreef and only have taken about 3 since I started into SW. This nano contest is going to be a bit strange for me!
