What do you think about doing a Jaubert system with calcium reactor media for 4 inches and them an inch or two of course sand?

The Jaubert Plenum system involves 4"- 6" of crushed coral at 2mm-5mm diameter. With a larger diameter substrate oxyen will penetrate deeper into sand bed depths. Faculative bacteria will be in a much larger zone with more denitrification bacteria chemistry.
