wasp Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Personally i wouldn't use coral sand cos it gets full of crud plus is hard to vacuum. Never mind the price! Aragonite is a better option IMO, although as per everything marine, anyone is welcome to offer the opposite opinion! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlid7 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 where do i get Aragonite from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 In Chch i wouldn't know so I guess you will have to ring around the marine shops. It comes in different grain sizes, a good size is 1.7 mls. What is sold in NZ as aragonite, is actually usually calcite but either will be a good option for a marine tank. Not sure on price but usually a lot cheaper than coral sand. The other thing, if you cannot get any immediately no worries, you can add it to the tank later.

cichlid7 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 do i need to cycle it like the rock?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 No, just put it straight in. It can be dusty though so a wash would not hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
