I'm just starting to build my first salt setup. I've got a 38 gallon display drilled for 2 standpipes and 1 return. I plan on a 3 chamber sump with an ATS as my primary, possibly only, means of filtration.
Current questions are:
1. Are there any differences in performing the initial cycle on a tank with ATS only filtration vs. a more traditional setup?
2. Will live rock provide adequate source material for initial algae growth, or do I need to worry about seeding my screen?
3. What should ideally be in the fuge portion of my sump?
Any input will be greatly appreciated! I'm sure my question list will grow from here.
