hmm, i've read about live sand. Is it the type of sand similar to live rock where the sand is cured(cycled) and kept in water? this sand also helps in cycling the tank right? it sorta expedites the process.
well, i enquired in two big marine lfs that i know of(oceanic and east aqua), they both have crushed coral only. no other sand. it's a bummer.
You know of any lfs that carries live sand? or any other suitable sand? Please advice. i'll just cure it myself and bring it to live.
i'm not rushing it. so, i got all the time in the world. i'm gonna make sure everything is per planned before i move on to next step.
Noted. damsel and clown type!
hmm, i dun use eheim substrate. i only use JBL Micro Mec. got that in East aqua Ikano for 45 bucks a box. works for me. Eheim is over-rated, i think.
here's a pic:

Pods. got it. i'll try googling it to get a clearer picture.
Thanks meggin!
ohh haha
go get any packet of sand as long as its crushed like the sand along the beach but dont go to sea and pick haha because those are polluted one.
crush coral u can only put 25% of them max and 75% of sand. but as recommended dont put any of the crush coral. few pieces maybe can.
Crushed coral leads high nitrate level because wastage will stick all along to the pores of crushed corals and its hard to be cleaned and then decomposition held there between each another of the crush coral and leads to nitrate output.
hmm JBL Micro Mec. acts as micro mechanical rite?
good ah?
eh bro, can look for me any cheap cheap price punya EHEIM substrate pro and EHEIM pro mech?
recently the cheapest i found is Rm94 for 1 liter substrat and 56 for 1 liter pro mech.
can you sms me if u found any of them? ^^
