Trust me it's easy to have peices of sand undisturbed

Nassarius snails burrow into sand unlike other snails which release gasses that sit under the sand

I guess I havent been around enough to tell the diff but my horses are doing awesome in crystal clear water

By bare minimum do u mean environment less

That is not the link I posted, don't bother, what's the deal It was suppossed to be seahorse.org

Damn double posts

Now that I think about it there was some gasses building up in the Sand I transferred so I rinsed it. But my source on the sand , Org.com - Only the best links ...

They hang out in corals too :)

Ur gonna need about the recommended amount of live rock for the tank right away, so ur extra might not be enough but will help

My comment was based on the assumption that he keeps his tank clean and has a coc that will take care of any detritus 0 nites, u know

I Would have to suggest a couple of anemone crabs then and get a nice anemone that wont take up too much space

In other words anything that's spent a good amount of time in an established tank will be beneficial to your new tank

I would say buy another skimmer

No no no the sand is the mother load of beneficial bacteria the water has nothing to do with it. with a good amount of established live rock u might never see a spike in ammonia. I setup my seahorse tank in a day with sand and live rock from other tank and it's been like 3 weeks still no spike.

Bacteria builds up on anything from filters to fake decor
