SWF Florida Keys Live Sand awesome!

[l and l]

Hey,
Just got it delivered from Fedex. Problem solved. Thanks for the help SWF.
This sand didnt kick up any cloud and it full of copepods and life. Got a green crab...in there too! Looks similiar to an emerald crab, but has some horn like features on his head. Got an idea what it is?
Thanks for the Live sand SWF. Great stuff!

What is the granularity of the LS? I need about 20-25lbs to finish the DSB and want to have goby sifting. I already have two horse shoe crabs (sleep during day and dig all night) and need to make sure the DSB is deep enough for oxygen deprivation and still have my animals search for things. Thanks!!

The Keys LS I got from this site was not in a packaged bag so there were no listings of grain sizes. However, comparing it to the other sand I got, which was Nature's Ocean and CaribSea, my estimate would be that the Keys sand has grain sizes between .02-1.7.
There really are no larger pieces that you might want to provide for gobies, but really, for this purpose, you really just want to get a few lbs [depending on your tank size] to top off with larger grained sand for the gobies, rather than having a significant amt of this for actual DSB.
