I have a question? Is crushed ok for a 110 gallon, or would it be better to use sand? and how many pounds ofmlive rock should I have per gallon, or can I us live rock and live sand? Some one keeps telling me that using live sand will eventually cause some kind of break down. Help

I dont know how to fix my nitrate, it keeps reading at 20ppm. I am not sure if its because I dont have enough live rock. but my nitrite was testing at a 0ppm now its testing at a .25ppm. my ammonia is testing right though.
