Ok, I took advice from you guys and got rid of my UGF and went sand. However, in hind sight, I am wondering if I am going to have to re-do it again....I went to HD and found Play Sand which a fellow SWT owner told me to buy. (He said it was the sand that he used in his tanks). I drained the tank into 20g rubermaid tubs and put the rocks in and scraped all of the puka shell crap out of there and replaced it with the sand. After I had replaced it and put the rocks and water back in, it looked great to me...As we were talking about it and looking at the new seascape, I got online looking for live sand to purchase and lo and behold I went to fish freeks site on sand....now I wish I had waited...See, down here in J'ville, Fl. it is hard to find the Tropical Play Sand or Aragonite Sand ( Matter of fact, if you mention it they look at you like you're crazy). Anyways, I see all of this stuff about silicates and the problems with it and why not to use it and such...If I am not mistaken, the sand that I got is nothing but. My buddy says not to worry about it and just do like he did and add live sand to it....Scared I screwed up though....Has anyone made this mistake if it is one and can I just add live sand to it and to make it better? Do I have to re-do it again? I attached a picture if it helps...
