I understand what your goal is. I'm also eager to read it.

So anyways, I seek to employ the "Berlin Method" in this system's filtration.

overflow --> refugium with deep sand bed --> sump with protein skimmer --> display tank

with regards to acclimation and quarantine, I did some good reading today from this Leebca guy (his posts are hard to avoid), and his language is long winded and pretentious ("no less than"....), but I personally believe that his described method of a freshwater bath prior to QT observation sounds like a no-brainer when it comes to assessing the condition of a fish, and as a first step towards treatment of diseases and parasites. I read this man's bio he has decades of experience in quarantining and observing sick fish.

I also believe in ich eradication, based on what I've read, using a fallow period in the DT and a hyposalinity period for fish.

Questions like: should I always use hypo? and is my cascade power filter going to work for denitrification? can always just be answered with a Google search...........
