Hi everybody !
I've got not typical question (I think) well, what should I do to have
totally white sand in my tank ?
I have not the foggiest idea how people do that ;-)
What kind of animals (fish, crabs...etc) do you recommend me to put them
into the aquarium ?
more hermit crabs ? I've already added one (now I have two hermit crabs and
six fish-zebrasoma flavescens, paracanthurus hepatus, 3 a.ocellaris,
salarias fasciatus)

my tank size (76 G, 50kg live rock)
HQI 2x150 + 2x58 actinic

thanks for help :)

The only pure white sand I can think of is the silica based sand-blasting kind.

You have a 76g tank with two hermits? I must have 20 to 30 hermits in my 55g,
plus 20 or more snails, a tigertail cucumber and a fighting conch. Plus 6
happy-go-lucky whelks. <grin> I think you can safely add some more critters to
your tank.

Before adding more critter, check the water parameter first and see if it
really support more critter and other stuff. So far, there no water
information status to go by.
