Substrate wars

[BigBarnacles]

I have Aragasnow sand in my 125 gallon tank, about 90lbs or so. It did blow around in my tank for a month or so but it eventually settled down. But the sand is so clean that it does not cloud up the tank. My two diamond gobies keep the sand nice and clean.

I'll probably end up going with the next step up...mini reef flakes.

Hey....my time frame might be a little too soon for us to work out an order together. I want to pull the trigger sometime tomorrow to get it here before the week is out.

Sounds like you are going with the Miniflakes primarily so mixing a little of the smaller stuff might be nice for your sand dwellers.

In the end, there's no sense in driving all over the place to save a few bucks on shipping!

I have an extra bag I could work out a deal on but I'm in Rockford so I'm not sure it's worth it for either of us. I might have two bags. I believe i have a box of it but am out of town at the moment so I can't check.

It blows around but not as bad as most sugar size sand. I have 2 6105s, a 6055, and a 6025 on my 180 and with them well aimed I don't get too much movement. I just did a black out period for cyano control the other day and the sand was super clean and it still stayed in place pretty well.

I hear ya. I'm just entering the setup stage of this build. Have to make sure not to rush anything now, as tempting as it is. Good luck with yours.:beer:
