    Dry sand vs live sand

    I do think that dr Tim's really helps. I used it and believe that it does work. It's really just the sand I question. If you are interested there is a video on u tube (sorry I don't have the link) but its the maker of dr Tim's going over what it is and how it works. Check it out

    Dry sand vs live sand

    I would go with dry I really don't believe in that live sand to much. It's gonna cloud up no matter what u put in live or dry just rinse it off a bunch with rodi water before you put it in. If you put your existing rock in there you will seed your new sand. Why pay more for marginal benefits...

    Alk crash

    I am Anthony, I was planning on getting rid of it this week I don't want to say it is the cause of this but I just started using it this month and now this crazy stuff is happening, this tank has been up for a couple years without a hitch using IO. I figured I should try a better salt. I'm...

    Alk crash

    That's what I thought, one month ago it was dead on. Sorry cal 440 I had an old dip in test strip and it also said it was off the chart low. It's gonna have to wait till morning, what about the fact that when I added alk solution it immediately precipitated it was like a blizzard and I added...

    Using old substrate

    Yea I have to have sand in my tanks, I'm sure bare bottom is better but it just doesn't seem right to be imulating a piece of the ocean and not have sand.. If you had some time you could rinse it all then put it in a container with a pump and check it in a couple weeks for phosphate or nitrate...

    Using old substrate

    the great ...err, uh... sock debate
