Hi is it alright to use, used live sand to new tank?
I would always start with new sand. Used sand is loaded with detritus that can cause spikes in your parameters.
perfectly fine but your "live" sand is more than likly dead because it's been sitting on a shelf for months with no food source for the bacteria if you didn't alredy buy it try to buy pfs or dry arognite sand
edit: i read the title fast youl be better off buying new sand nasties in the sand can get stirred up and cause all kinds of problems
Is there a big differnce in price because i saw live sand $30 for only 20 ibs no way I'm going to pay that for sand lol
