I am getting ready to start a new reef tank and I wandering if The Argonite Gravel was ok? I have a TON of it...

If not I have Seaflor by Caribsea which is argonite as well and I have a little bit of sugar sized argonite sand too...

I have the most of the gravel which is about half the size of a pea on average.

It looks like, from what I've read on the forums, mosst people prefer the Sea Floor... How much should I use for a 90 Gallon tank?

Right now I am getting ready to buy my live rock, but I'm not going to do that until I have my sand ready... What about a Plenum? Do I have to make a Plenum? I'd ratehr just put the sand or gravel CC whatever in there and let the hermit crabs deal with it...

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Also don't rinse the sand??? Won't it be cloudy for a while?
