What do you use or what is recommend for a 180 gal mostly reef tank, Crushed Coral, Sand or 50/50? Going to be making a trip to the LFS and was wondering what I should get?
AndyH5512 said:Get sand. Crushed coral traps waste more easily (uneaten food, fish waste, etc.) and causes your nitrate levels to skyrocket.
