When I set my 75g up in '05 I used Light House silica sand.(Lowes)
Many second thoughts about that...before the fact.
I've mixed a few agronite bags in for color etc.

Did you rinse the sand before you put it in the tank ?

The thing I dislike about having a DSB is fish like to kick it up
and blow it all over the rocks.

I have more sand on my rocks than coralline !
Not to mention the tunnels they dig around and under the rocks.

Maybe we should start a killer post like....
"what is the best salt to use ?"
Those are my favorites !!!

Or... "I have designed a filter :-)"

Doing a large patio this weekend...
I haven't looked in my tank for about 3 days : (

I am setting up new 58gallons reef with DSB.
Having 2nd thoughts about the Southdown sand...
I have just sand and water now - every time
I move sand a little my water turns into milk :-(
