But it is as literal as it sounds: having your DSB in a large bucket or garbage can rather than in a display. It can stay unlit and needs little or no servicing. Just a stream of water flowing atop it. The vessel is to be filled nearly to the top with only a few inches of water running above it. A five gallon bucket will hold about 60lbs of oolitic sand and service perhaps a 90-120 gallon aquarium (larger tanks with lighter bioloads too). Big displays often use a non-toxic plastic garbage can (or food barrel) with more sand of course.
I retreived this form a very early post in the begining of this thread. I copied it so I would not have to worry about mis-stating it. But from this it sounds like it would work for you, obviously like anything else bigger is better. I am using a 5 gal tank for my 90gal
