sand question

[debbie]

Which is the better sand:
Caribsea Arg-alive Bahamas Oolite
Caribsea Arg-alive Fiji Pink
For a 30 gal tank would 20 lbs give me a 1/2" bed?? I don't want a deep bed.

IDK which is better, but if you click on teh live rock/live sand icon on the left of the page they have a sand calculator that might help you out.

i got a 28 gallon nano and 20lbs of sand gave me about a 1 inch or so of sand bed. so if your not looking for a deep sand bed i wouldnt get more then that.
