I was wondering what people's thoughts are on live sand. I am/will be setting up a 29 gallon tank. I have heard many people talking about live sand. Here's what I have on my list to buy so far.
Prizm protein skimmer
Aquafuge refugium with refuigium mud
drs foster and smith's wavemaker system
of course a heater
digital thermometer
45 pounds of fiji live rock
I have already bought a metal halide lighting setup that with the power compacts with give 247 watts of power. The medal halide is 175 watts by itself. Anyway getting back to my question, do I need live sand or is argonite just fine for my setup? I also would like to know what test kits you all use and like. What items do you all test for? I have heard of people not testing anything, others test ph,calcium,hardness,akaline,etc. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks again!
