Aquarium Advice Regular
We have crushed coral in our tank, and have decided that we prefer the look of sand better. If we go with live sand, how deep do we need it to be?
Our Home Depot doesn't carry Southdown sand. I found some live sand at a local pet store (can't remember the brand - Nature's Ocean or something like that), that cost $30 for 20 pounds, and supposedly has detrivors and bacteria in it already. Would this stuff work? And if I add it, is it going to start my cycle over again, or is it safe to just add it?
And is it better to add it all at once, or can we add it in slowly over time?
