Sand, Snails, Crabs, and shrimp

[safaripilot]

Now that I have replaced my Crushed Coral with Southdown play sand my crabs and snails are much more active on the bottom of the tank. My cleaner and Coral Banded shrimp also take part in the bottom sifting. THe Mexican turbos are the best algae eating machines I have ever seen. So far I am very happy with my puchases from SWF.com and am looking to add more slowly.
If you are setting up a new tank do yourself a favor and use sand for your base instead of CC.
