can I mix different substrates??????

I currently have 20# of Argonite in my fuge. My friend gave me about 10# of gray coast calcite. Would it be okay if I put that on top of my argonite or should I just leave it out?

To the best of my knowledge, you can mix substrate. The ocean floor definatly is not only one type....

What about mixing crushed coral and sand?

Again, the ocean floor is not one type of medium. it is a combination of argonite, coral, sand, and alot of other stuff... I dont see any problem with that at all... I would wait for one of the more experienced people on here to chime in, but I think you will be fine mixing any types of substrate... The only thing you really need to worry about is cleaning it... I choose argonite over sand because sand seems to be very difficult to clean

I have a mix of cc and aragonite sand in both of my tanks.
