Aquarium Advice Addict
I know I asked this here once, but I didn't get much of a response, so let me reword my question.
Basically, in my area, there is NO cheap argonite based playsand. So my only option is paying at least $1 per pound at hte LFS or PetSmart.
I've had people tell me 'silica sand is fine, don't worry about using it, its safe'
Others tell me 'silica will get you no where'
Then my 2 books, which everyone agrees are good books both say 'silica sand has no place in the marine tank'.
So, as expensive as 50lbs of argonite might be, if its what I need for success....it's what I need.
So, chime in with your personal experience on using silica sand, please
