Otherwise, don't use sand at all. Only MB7.

This is a complicated hobby...

So if you're going to add sand, you need to add an acid washed goby - if you're using IO salt.
But otherwise don't use acid at all, or is it let the goby settle in first, and then acid wash the goby before adding the sand ?
Or am I supposed to just use the MB7 in the sand, but only if I add the IO salt ?
I'm totally confused
