new2reefs Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Is it okay to use crushed coral instead of live sand because the lfs doesnt sell theres, they belive in the bare bottem reef i guess (thats what they do) Link to comment
ninhsavestheday Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 u can use crushed coral, but then they trap nitrates. search about it on the forum. theres lots of information about the cons of crushed coral. i would say go with fine sand rather than crushed. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 you could sprinkle just enough to cover the glass for aesthetics sake but i agree with ninh to try and get sand. aesthetically speaking, i think sand looks better. functionally speaking, i think sand's much better. and if i had to choose between CC and bare glass i'd just go glass. you'd eventually get some coralline coverage on the glass anyways (that's a nice look too imo) so glass isn't horrible.
