seaflor special grade

what size sand is better? 0.2-1.2 or 1-1.7 0.2-1.2 mm grain size or 1-1.7 mm grain size the smaller size says it allows de-nitrification in as little as 1" depth...any opinions? Also, how does one syphon such sand without sucking out all the little sea creatures living in the sand and...

What sand would you use to setup a new tank? I am planning on a 1-2 in SSB. I am not going to have a bare bottom tank - it works for some and not for others, Natures Ocean Caribsea Southdown (IMO No good) Other? Would you put the rock on the sand or build it higher?

so i've been sisiting a couple of local fish stores, looking for a place to buy sand. since shipping on that stuff is insanely expensive. however, neither of the stores have dry substrate (sugar sized sand) they only have the small bags of "live sand" however, both of them had a BIG white bag...

I am setting up a 110 gal and am toying with the idea of using a shallow sandbed with coarse crushed coral for easy vacuuming. Any advice/opinions?:wavey:

First let me say this site is amazing, the members are friendly and helpful, and the information available is overwhelming. Great Job. In a nutshell, here is my problem. About a month ago I decide I'd like to get into this hobby and have been researching as much as I can in my spare time...

Somehow people have gotten the idea that DSB's will process wastes indefinitely. That they miraculously just keep going and going and going like the energizer bunny. Not true. Think of them like a septic tank, you can add all the RidEx and critters you want but you're still going to end up with...
