need advice
Welcome Rachel! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Without donning my flamesuit [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] ....IMVHO,the question would be wich is best for you and your new reef?
With this in mind(and JMVHO of course) i would have to say stay away from anything that is NOT Aragonite,for a tried and true,reliable aswell as just being a natural reef substrate.
It is much more than just a site for bacteria.
Not saying other medias wont work adequately,but when all is said and done,this will be no small investment for you,(and its really not too bad to just wait that extra bit to get enouph money for the good stuff [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ....and it just makes no sence to take chances/cut corners on any portion of your reef.
(Not saying all other media users are cheap,or are taking too much risk...but many of you have much more experience and probably much more prepared for unfortunate longer term consequences....if any [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] )
Even if only for peace of mind.
Good luck with your new reef...keep us updated,Marc.
