liquidg Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) There is a lot to making a stable reef aquarium mate. The sand will do very little for the display aquarium; in fact with out lots of work on that sand over the life of your tank, it will be one of the major polluters of your tank. You need to establish temperature control all year round,PH control, salinity control,nutrtient control and much as possible “functional media” to house nitrogen cycling microbes and protists, these are just a few of what you need to apply your self to. Keep asking on any part of the hobby, many here can reflect on their experiences to help you out. Edited June 17, 2013 by liquidg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
