Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / June 2007question about new tank setup
Sorry to be buggin you all. I just want to make sure I start things right before I dive into setting up my new reef tank. I read on garf.org about setting up a plenum with egg crates?? Anyone know if this is a good idea? My preferred substrate of choice will be sand, so I don't think a plenum will be suitable for that. thoughts? A plenium is a wast of time and space. Yes the best substrate is a fine grain calcium sand. And the deeper the better. Just remember to put some base rock on the glass, and put the sand around it, and then stack the live rock on top of the base rock. If you stack rock on the sand, you will eventually have an avalanche. Wayne Sallee Wayne's Pets Wayne@WaynesPets.com ONJ wrote on 6/6/2007 12:45 PM: > Sorry to be buggin you all.

A plenium is like making a two layer cake by taking an empty cake pan and turning it upside down, and then putting one layer cake on top of it, and then putting icing around the whole thing. The cake is still good, but not as good as a two layer cake.

I haven't heard that analogy before. :-) That's because I just then came up with that analogy :-) Wayne Sallee Wayne's Pets Wayne@WaynesPets.com KurtG wrote on 6/8/2007 4:23 PM: >> A plenium is like making a two layer cake by taking an empty cake pan >> and turning it upside down, and then putting one layer cake on top of >> it, and then putting icing around the whole thing.
