Setting up a new tank and had a question about using this product. Is it okay to use this with live Carib Sea special grade or dry sand. Thanks

I think I remember Dr Tims stating not too but I think his reasoning was they can have die off and arrive with ammonia in the bag so you would end up with an inaccurate dose but I've never had an issue.

I've also tested two bags of special grade and neither had ammonia
