Aquarium Advice Freak
I've done some research and have decided to go against the grain and just use white silica play sand (toys r us). I know I will be missing some of the bennifits of argonite but sometimes I just have to learn the hard way
Anyway one thing I am not clear on is will this sand become ls as well and will I bennifit from a dsb of it? Or, should I just use 1-2 inches of it on bottom?
And kind of related - when I start my cycle I plan to use raw shrimp. Does it matter where I put the shrimp? Should I put it on the base rock (hirocks.com) or on the sand (i.e. will the bacteria colonize faster on the base rock than the silica sand)?
