Yes it will be a reef tank and I will not ever put that much sand on the
bottom. I just had a huge problem caused by a deep sand bed and it was
no more than 2 inches. I will never put more than half an inch to an
inch of sand back into the aquarium. By huge problem I mean it killed
several fish, shrimp, snails, hermits, starfish, and lots of little
bugs. Not only that but it has taken about 4 months to clear up with
doing large water changes. As far as salinity I have no idea what to
keep it at I have heard as little as 1.021 to 1.028. Also at what temp
do you need to keep the salinity at 1.025. What does everyone keep
their salinity and temp at?
