Default ordered sand!!

Just ordered 60# of Carib aragalive sand at 16.95 per 20gal. My lfs wanted 33$ for 20#. Even with shipping I saved quite a lot. Oh, lost a snail today:eek: :eek:

I just got my Arag-alive yesterday! It looks like good stuff but I've never used it before. We'll see how that goes!

PS: live sand contains nitrifying bacteria already and sometimes additional benefits like copepods.

i love it i didn't use it when i first started but put it inwhen i went to a mini reef. helped so much, it was like adding another 30- 40# of live rock with out taking up the space. plus looks grest. i used the fine white sand for a carribean or FL keys look now winters in ST. LOUIS aren't so bad.
