Texag12 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I put in 5 lbs of the live Caribbean reef sand sold at Petsmart. Link to comment
russ722 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks, wasn't quite sure 5lb bag would be enough. Link to comment
Chad Walters Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I just have a very small layer barely covering the glass. Sometimes it blows in certain areas and you can see the glass but I don't mind. I wanted to stay away from a DSB. Link to comment

russ722 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 My tank is in the cycle stage and I was considering taking out some argonite sand (currently about 1".) I wanna go with a shallower sand bed say 1/2" or so at most. If I take some out to desired amount would that be enough for the crabs and snails? Link to comment
