Im putting in an order for some rocks and substrate and want to make sure I get what’s best for my tank. I’m planning on getting a watchman goby and pistol shrimp. Would Bahama Aragonite Sand from MarcoRocks be good for these guys?

Crushed coral or CaribSea substrates work well. I have CaribSea Special Grade and my goby loves it. He’s like a kid on the beach building his “sandcastles” lol

+1 I used the special grade for my pistol/Goby pair and they love it. After seeing the shrimp work and move stuff around I would think sand might be a little harder for it to build with.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
