Default quick question
Is there anywhere in Edmonton to buy live sand?
I am not yet ready for it, but I was wondering if there was any place local that sells small quatities for seeding purposes.
Thanks in advance,
Duke

Your live rock will seed your sand soon enough. Alternatively, you could get a cup from a local reefer. It is also possible that AI would sell you a bit, but they have a flatworm problem right now.

Big Al's had a monster tank crash yesterday, basically lost everything in their fish display tanks. What tanks do they take their live sand from? I think they also have a flatworm problem.
