Which sand would you recommend?

[jbjints]

I am still in the process of getting my tank setup (one of these years) and I am getting down to the last few items required, sand being one of them. Which sand would you recommend that I purchase and how many inches high would you go for a 120 gallon tank? I have a few more things to knock out then I may actually be able to set this tank up finally.

Thanks,

Joe

I would purchase dry aragonite sand and seed it from an established system. As for the depth of the sandbed, are you considering shallow or deep sandbed and why?

I personnally like crushed coral but I know there a lot of people on here to perfer something else. Do u want a deep sandbed or just sand?

+1. The "live sand" is a waste of $$$ IMO
