The plenum, mate.

Works well if constructed right, like anything else really.

 

[ereefic1]

Nope, don't use it.

That's (more or less) what I'm setting up on my new tank.

In particular, the post by "biogeek" has links to a couple good articles regarding the use of plenums.

Just to make sure I'M clear, Jaubert's method involves a plenum with no circulation under a few inch sand layer, right?

Why go through the trouble when you can just lay the sand right on the bottom?

Do you lay the rocks on the plenum? How does it hold all that weight?
