I'm planning a 20H Nano. Just curious what you 20H nano reefers use for sandbed depth.
My main tank is a mixed reef (sps, lps and some rics and zoos). It's been up for 5 years with a 4 inch sandbed. Although Dr. Ron had stated that was too small of a tank for a DSB, I've been sometimes neglectful with water changes and have gone skimmerless for periods. I recently has my first sps failure and ran a full battery of tests with my phosphate at 0 and nitrates at 5. This made me believe that my sandbed must be working. I've also ran a 10g nano before for a year and a half with a 1.5 inch bed and didn't see much difference.
Any thoughts?
