Play Sand is notorious for Silicates and Silicates are notorious for Cyano and Phosphates. I would strongly recommend against the use of Play Sand.
With that said, Blue Legged Hermits, Red Legged Hermits, Scarlet Reef Hermits to name a few, are good Reef Crabs to use.

Yea, thats actually a good price. I've seen it at $9 a lb. Lowest I've seen is $6 a lb if you buy more than 50lbs at one time.

Fiji Tokata rock is around $5.99 - $7 /lb around here.

Is there a rule of thumb.... lbs per gallon that you have to use of Live Rock?

Reefing Madness · 09-01-2012, 01:46 PM

Minimum suggested use is 1lb per gallon.

92smokeaccord · 09-01-2012, 07:18 PM
