  1. I have a 55g drum full of zero TDS RO/DI water. You're welcome to as much as you need. I also have 55 gallons of premixed saltwater. PM me if you need my address, I'll be home all night.

  2. Boyd also says that you will never have to do another water change and your fish will magically live four times longer.

     

    I used Chemi-Pure Elite for years before I really got serious into reefing. I still had to do water changes and I noticed no increase in fish vitality.

     

    Chemi-Pure is basically just a low grade carbon and GFO mixed together along with a bit of DI resin that gets exhausted extremely quickly in saltwater.

     

    IME you would be much better off making your own "chemi-pure" by mixing a high grade carbon (rox) and GFO together in a bag. Even better keep them separate because the carbon gets exhausted more rapidly and should be replaced more often than the GFO.

     

    Anyway, this should be a cool tank and I'm looking forward to the build.

  3. I've had terrible luck with clawed critters eating my coral. Cleaner shrimp have poked at my clam mantles, picked at my pink bird nest and eaten eagle eyes. Scarlet hermits have eaten GSP and blue hornets. Red tip hermits have eaten xenia and trumpet coral.

     

    So IME I would not buy the "100 small hermits" and go only with snails.

     

    If the sand bed is your problem look into Nassarius snails, they are carnivorous, but live in the sand bed.
