    buying the right sand

    I am going to change my CC to LS. I plan on buying 1 20lb bag of LS from my LFS, and get about 100ls of play sand. I can not find the southdown sand at Home Depot. I have checked several other stores as well. All I can find is play sand, some of it says premium play sand. How do I know if...

    I am swithcing CC to LS

    By cleaning the sand, I was thinking before I put it in the tank? Also is there another type of sand that can be used besides southdown. My building stores do not carry it. Is there a certain type of sand I could look for. I would rather not buy all the sand from the LFS, very expensive.

    I am swithcing CC to LS

    A couple of questions on switching CC to LS. I have read about southdown sand, how do I know it is southdown sand, does it say it on the bag. My 55 gal has about 40 lbs of LR, 1 shrimp, 1 shroom, and 1 anenome, and 1 blue damsel. Is it best to put all this in a couple of buckets with tank...

    New member question!! Queen Conch.

    On this website it says the fighting conch gets very large and should not be in a tank less than 100 gal. The queen conch sounds like the smaller one. I am going to order one for my 55, I wanted to make sure that in fact the fighting conch is the smaller of the two?

    help! Dead fish

    I have a new 55 gal tank. I let the tank cycle for 6 weeks and then started adding fish. I added 2 clowns, 1 YT, and a coral beauty, 1 blue damsel. I added all the fish in about 10 days, one at a time, which I now think may have been too fast. The coral beauty was the last fish added, two...
