caribsea live sand

Hello everyone! I had a question on cycling with partial live rock and sand. If I were to potentially set up my 20g would it be worth it to buy some live rock/live sand? I was thinking of the Tampa Bay “pico package” or the “sand and rox box”. I can’t afford to do a full 20lbs of live rock and...

Almost 2 years ago, I removed from sand from my tank and put it in a closed container. I wanted to put it back in the tank, but I'm not sure if I have to do anything to it before? I wasn't sure if there's like a cycling process like it is with live rock.

Hello fellow saltines, I setup my 5g about 3 months ago using CaribSea live sand. I have about 1/2 a bag left that I have been keeping sealed in my basement where it's cool and dark. I would like to add some more to my tank. My question is... if there has been die off in the sand can this cause...

Hi! This is a 20g IM nuvo fusion. Thoughts on this aquascape? The tank is just cycling now… so I feel like this is my last chance to adjust the rock. I still have a lot of extra rock to work with. Are there adequate spots for corals? Thanks!

Someone please tell me how I am supposed to cycle a 20 gallon IM nuvo fusion. I can’t seem to get a clear answer from the internet/YouTube. Apparantly there are a billion ways to do it!? I will be using caribsea live sand and caribsea life dry rock. I am making my own saltwater with rodi water...

I have a new tank cycling with a bare bottom because the Microbacter Start noted that the bacteria may compete with bacteria in live sand. Questions: 1) Is there merit to this claim or is a diverse set of bacteria actually a good thing in the long run? 2) When should one add live sand if...

Guy's, you've probably seen me around the threads asking a lot of questions about Red Sea and Waterbox aquariums. I was torn between the Reefer 425XL and the Waterbox 130.4. And I chose the Waterbox! I took advantage of their Blue Friday 2 weeks ago and today I received the very anticipated...

Hello, I’m new to the hobby and have picked things up here and there from different people and ended up getting 3 unopened bags of live sand and a bucket full of old reef sand roughly the same consistency. I was wondering since they’re about the same size if it would be ok to mix them for a...

Hi everyone! So on Monday night all my fish died except my electric blue hermit crab. So sad. My tank was established on May 10th of this year. I was doing the BRS 5 minute video set up. So far so good ~no issues until now. In my tank we’re 2 pairs of clown fish and the blue hermit crab. Monday...

So I've seen a couple posts about this, but I felt the need to share my experience with this sand and my strong opinion towards it. I waited about 3/4 weeks to verify if the actual problem stemmed from the sand or something else. I did no other changes with my tank in terms of flow, filtration...

It has begun! My wife and I have decided on not going quite as large as I posted in my Introduction thread back in October. We were thinking the Red Sea Reefer 350 Deluxe. The Den where the tank will be is not massive but it can accommodate the Red Sea 250 Deluxe nicely. In fact the overall...
