Re: Sand Substrate Question
It should have alot of crushed coral and shell. It will increase hardness,
pH and buffering. Not that it is a bad thing. I need to do that for most
of my fish or they go belly up quickly. I use some of it in my Notho tanks,
I suspect that there are lamp eyes that would benefit from some crushed
coral. All depends on your water. Also good for Pseudomugil signifer or P.
cyanodorsalis which prefer brackish water (not killies though...)
