Hey Richard,

I am still waiting for my tank to be delivered, however I am also trying to budget for your package. As my tank is particularily tall (31"H, 48"L, 24"W;155G) should I plan on adujusting from the package for the amount of sand to stay at around 1.5"? Possibly not if I want to seed my refugium with TBS live sand as well...

Also if the sand has a good population of pods is it reasonable to assume that I might be able to move up by a couple months the standard 8-12 months to build up a large enough volume of pods to get a Mandarin?

Thanks
 
Live rock and live sand from real tropical reef environments look white-ish and not that filthy. Just search on google great barrier reef sand pictures or coral reef sand pictures. It's white.

You can do it that way.....but your sand bed is too deep, eventually you will develope dead spots as the critters cannot stir that deep......may take a few years, but sooner or later it will happen. We suggest one pound per gallon, gives you about 1.5 inch... which is perfect....

Not to necro an old post but when you say one pound per gallon are you talking about dry volume / total size or something else?

Yes, my 240 is in the garage up and running doing a leak check :) I need to finish a hood for the tank and some crown molding in the room it is going in then I can probably, finally, order :)

It would be one lb per gallon when ordering, this gives the depth 1 inch to inch and a half in the tank . Weather is rough but we have had most items . The sand is always under water and will be shipped with water enough to keep everything alive . Thanks Dan in shipping . http://tbsaltwater.com/thepackage/setup.html
 
My 2 cents... The sand was one of the best parts of the package thus far. It was very "live" :) I poured it in and the critters came out. worms, hermits, snails, clams... Now fan worms are starting to emerge all over. Awesome!

Someone just posted their order shots and had a good one of the sand. Pretty much what you described.
