Where Online? Best Place? Best Deal?

there's no point in live sand if you get live rock imo.

but if you insist, get live sand from a well matured tank that has a decent history (no crashes, parasites etc.). that way you get all the fauna that lives in it. best source is a fellow reefer; most will donate for cheap as free. why go online? do you mean that "live" sand in a bag? personally, i think that's a rip and a half...

so just dead?

[SeaSerpant]

doesn't live sand have benefits or does it do the same thing as live rock?

[justinl]

same thing as live rock. I would just go with the dry sand in the bags. just remember to rinse it really well.

[SeaSerpant]

with tap water or does it matter?

[justinl]

yeah rinsing with tap is fine. just try to drain as much as you can out of it before putting it into the tank. it isn't super crucial though.

would the sugar sand affect anything or should i get a larger grain?
