![]() I'm going old school.
I always had "shallow" DSB's like you're describing. This time around, I dropped around $300.00 for sand, around 160lbs. It's probably 8-10 inches in my 36" tank. I used 1/2 live sand and 1/2 of some dry sand I soaked in substrate sauce. There was almost no cycle. (I used bleach cured live rock I've been cooking for months as well). I don't run a sump (RSM 250) but agree, with the option, it's a cleaner way to achieve the benefits.
