Ok.ok. I did a ton of research on sand in frag tanks... I decided that not only does it look good under light, but the good out weighed the bad..(for me)This is the same 50/50 as is with sandy bottoms in DTs. I am no expert, and this could make or break me, but thats the fun about this hobby.

Thank you, It has taken a life time seems like.(over a decade) I have always looked at others who had rooms and big tanks. I kept my faith that one day I would have one, what I didn't know was that the lord wanted me to wait so that way the day I was able, I had a family that would be able to enjoy it with me. This also brought me to R2R, where though what Rev has created here we can ALL enjoy this hobby together. We can also learn from one another.
