another live sand ?????

[jstrong]

ok ive added 150 pounds of southdown sand to my tank. it is almost clear. i have 20 pounds of live sand coming tomorrow that i ordered from SWF, is the ls going to cloud up like the southdown did??? any tips on laying it on top of the other sand would be appreciated. thanks

I did not think my live sand clouded up nearly as much as the dry sand did. The Live Sand will be saturated with water already so it should settle a lot faster, you will have some cloudiness but not nearly as much as the southdown.

I added 80lbs LS to one of my tanks last night (on top of 180lbs southdown). The LS hardly cloudied the water at all, especially compared to what the SD did when I added it. Southdown is a much finer grain (at least mine is) than LS, so it stirs up easier and stays suspended longer. As was said before, the LS is also saturated, which will help keep the mess to a minimum.
