Sand Bed Critters

[reefburnaby]

Hi,

I agree with Titus that quality live rock is the best source criters. However, there are live rock that is sold that isn't quite as live as others (Big Al's comes to mind - they are on the dead side).

Another problem is that even if you do have a lot of criters, they may perish due to preditors like a mandarain. So, you might have trouble keeping criters because you may have too many preditors -- hence the concept of a refugium.

I have bought a pound of live sand from Seacare, and it looks pretty good. Some pods, worms and such. I added some of that stuff to my existing reef for extra diversity.
