Whatever you do stay away from the marineland ones. They clean good, but they don't float so of it slips off the inside part is like a lead weight damaging whatever it falls on. Plus one day I noticed a bit of rust on it and found that a seam had split. Not good.
I had the same problem in my nano. Fuge and way oversize skimmer. I chalked it up to too clean a system. My other tank which I know is "dirtier" has great extension, and corals grow 10x better in there.
I used it in a nano. Loved it for about 1 month. Then I couldn't wait to get rid of it. The one I used was a bit more course then sand. I can't think of the exact name though. Trapped a ton of detritus, and was a pain to clean. There may be some pics of it in my nano tale of tank thread.

If there was...
Im thinking the same with the mp-10's. Its really a stopgap until I gather the funds for the mp-40's which may be some time.
On the update front, it just seems to be a waiting game. I got the sump and stone ordered. Im getting the stone from ReefRocks.com. Ive used it before and love it. The...
