Thank you! I hadn't thought of that. It seems, however, that there could be some beneficial bacteria or organisms that could come from the beach as well.?
Absolutely, I won't go on and on about this one because alot of folks shun this.. However, there is a lot of beneficial stuff in sand collected from the shore. You will have to make sure what the laws are in your area, but I know in Florida, you are allowed to collect 1 gallon per day...If you do this, make sure you go out in deeper water and dive down to collect it...It would also be advised to not collect from around mouths of rivers, inlets, etc... because of some contaminates that may be there... I have collected sand from around St. Augustine Florida and it is full of all kinds of worms and pods and such... Keep in mind that this is my opinion... You can take it how ever you want, but I can tell you that the Ocean is in most cases 100 times cleaner than our tanks...
