Hi everyone! I'm having a hard time picking which substrate to use for my new tank - definitely overthinking it I'm sure, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding close up pics to help make my decision... so save my sanity and help me choose between one of these?
CaribSea Arag-alive fiji pink, Arag-alive special grade, Nature's Ocean natural white, Tropic Eden miniflakes, or Tropic Eden tonga special pink.
I'd like as close to a "natural" white as possible, and something that won't get sucked up in the gravel vac or blow all over. Don't plan on high flow.
I'm using mostly CaribSea LifeRock for rock and piece of Real Reef. Hope to snag a chunk of live rock from my boss's established reef tank BUT may not be possible. So, figuring live sand might be best with my dry rock (plus some Fritz turbo start)?
Also, has anyone scaped with LifeRock that can suggest the best thing to bond pieces together with? I really don't feel like messing with drilling into anything but want to stack it and don't want things falling apart. I've seen some "putty" like stuff that comes in purple that might blend well with the faux-coraline color of the LifeRock?
