Four minutes for an answer with a sketch - Hey Kanga, you're getting slow ):
Good sketch, though...
Wildbunny, you can put some LR in the sump as well (just lift it off the sand...) but that is not really necessary.
If you have and external Skimmer plumbed into your overflow that will be fine.
You can have live rock on eggcrate on the DSB
Although there is nothing wrong with keeping the DSB and refugium separate, one can just as easily keep them together in one are, with the LR and/or algae above the sand. Of course, IF you are using chaeto as a nutrient export only (i.e. nor also a hiding place for little "goggas"), the best would be to have a large "bush" of it slowly spinning in it's own compartment, with a bright light directly above it.
good sketches kanga ,i dont have dsb in my sump .ive got bio balls in first compartment .broken up corals in second and pro. skimmer and return pump in third ,does all this sound good.
thank you Kanga.thats pretty cool.only my skimmer is on the outsideHere we go Miki, but I must say, I agree with Hennie, I have my cheato above my DSB
thats exactly how it was.after removing my Via aqua from the compartment,decided to make that empty compartment for my Chaeto and some LRone can just as easily keep them together in one are, with the LR and/or algae above the sand.
