There also benefits from using calcium base sand It reacts with water to disslove slowly releasing the calcium and magnesium which fish and inverts use, and carbonate which buffers the pH of the water. Saltwater tanks should have a pH of aroun 8.2-8.4, and while the aragonite won’t raise it this...

Caribsea is fine just remember Rocks first then sand and for shallow bed 1 inch should be fine.

hi flower my problem with the live sand that are in bags is what organism is going to live in a sealed plastic bag with no air, no food barely any light for six months on a shelf. There's probably some bacteria it you can get 10 times more bacteria in someone's used filter floss. Real Live sand...

if it for freshwater it is not calcium the reason why I know it's not calcium is because in freshwater calcium we change the pH in the tank and probably kill all the freshwater fish. I am pretty sure it's silicon-based. A calcium-based sand would be very white in color.

i hope that helps

Most sand in a freshwater tank would be silicon-based silicon-based sand would cause a large brown algae outbreak in your tank that you will never be able to get rid of because the brown algae eats silicon and you get it a whole lot of food. You would need a sand made out of calcium for a...

In my opinion live sand is a waste of money unless you're getting it directly from a active tank the stuff you buying bags is barely alive so basically you're paying for a lot of water weight. I would start off with basic aragonitet dry sand

Everyone that has built the saltwater fish tank has an opinion . They will tell you what to look for, what equipment to buy, which equipment to run on your cycle and how long the cycle should take. I'm going to break this down step-by-step like this is a new set up. One main thing I want...

I need to see a photo

is he a bubble tip when i got him he was the size of a MM now he is as big as a quater. he grew that big in less then two weeks

only kidding [hr]

I got him out should.I feed him to my wife to check if he is poisonous?

[hr] yes i use ro water . I think it maybe the food i used to start the cycling. i will use some phs remover next week

the nitrates is really getting to me, there should be none right now it's just odd. I wonder if it is because im using old live rock. I guess it does not really matter right now until the ammonia is 0

there dead :(
