Originally Posted by Sly Yea, some people seem to maintain a cleaner substrate than others and I don't really know what is different either. I have had a CC substrate for about 6 years and have a perfectly clean tank with no algae problems. I did a water change about 2 months ago but before...

Very interested, about to upgrade to a 120 and need a skimmer for it. THanks.

Originally Posted by Scopus Tang lol! I hate the sugar sand, so I understand your issue! Use the Carib LS over dry aragonite sand, and you will be much happier with the sandbed . Would be ok to mix our current sand bed (smaller than sugar!) with some dry aragonite? We should have some good...

Originally Posted by LexLuethar I use aragonite in my tank, it is very fine crush shells and coral. But the sizes of each piece are smaller than a piece of grain. So you don't have to worry about it blowing around as much, but it is fine enough so that food particles don't penetrate through...

Well, the husband will chime in! I have seen some tanks with CC and just think it is more of a natural look with a reef tank. I agree with the person that recommended maybe a more coarse sand vs the very fine sand we currently have. It blows all over the place and just makes it look as if it...

Hello All, My husband and I are upgrading our marine tank from a 56g to a 120g we currently have LS and I love it. However, my husband is thinking of going with CC or Aragonite ( spelling ). I really love the LS as i think it has very benificial bactiria and also looks great. My husband on...

Great question. Just bought some of that myself. I use Instant Ocean salt which is notorious for low Mag levels. I look forward to reading some responses.

By the way for all the advise and great posts!!!!!!!!!!

Well I made a batch of kalk in the pitcher as descibed before, but I have not added to our 5 gallon bucket (2 days old). Is it waste now? If not, should I add a very light touch of vinegar? Sorry for a dumb question, but what is cyano? I am relatively new and have not experienced or read...

Originally Posted by Bang Guy Tell me more about how your ATO works. How much water does it dose at a time? Does it drip all day or does it add a gallon when the water level in the sump is low? If you add more lime than what will dissolve to your topoff bucket it will just harmlessly fall to...
